The MTN ARDIC Programme

We just concluded the first edition of the MTN ARDIC program. We saw over 14 postgraduate students pitch their ideas and we must say we were impressed. All participants present had very unique ideas which treated various socio economic problems in Nigeria. They also received feedback from the judges.

Director of Research in Department NCC, Alessia Balducci: General Manager Seedstars, Amina Usman, GM Northen Region MTN Nigeria and our Chief Transformation Officer, Olubayo Adekanmbi.

The event was crowned with a dinner night where we awarded the participants who emerged as winners, for their 6 unique business ideas. They all got 1 million Naira each and will receive a 6 months training with our partners, Seedstars.
