MTN Nigeria has announced 14-year-old Ademuwa Ifeoluwa of Chrisfield College, Ikorodu Lagos as its first one-day kid CEO. Ademuwa became one-day CEO after emerging winner of the maiden edition of the Lagos State Private Schools Spelling Bee Competition sponsored by MTN Nigeria. He was announced winner following five months of fast-paced competition that attracted participation from 70 secondary schools in the State.

On Thursday, December 5, 2019, Ademuwa assumed the role of Kid CEO for one day at the company’s headquarters in Ikoyi, Lagos. The highlight of his day was when he welcomed dignitaries to the 5G demonstration at the same venue. He was also on hand to receive the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Mrs. Folasade Jaji, the Oba of Lagos, His Royal Majesty, Oba Rilwan Akiolu and other dignitaries.

Speaking at the event, Rahul De, Chief Marketing Officer, MTN Nigeria said, “The one-day CEO experience will open the winner and his peers to an aspect of life that is interesting. I believe the process will enhance their overall development. We are glad to be part of this, which further affirms our commitment to equipping young Nigerians. This is one of the cardinal reasons we introduced mPulse.”

“With MTN mPulse, we seek to show children and parents that a well-grounded educational and ‘fun-based’ platform can expand the future beyond what we have predicted. I am excited for the thousands of children that have stepped up to the podium to participate since the competition began. They have taken the first steps towards transforming their lives and we are very proud of them.”

Ademuwa shared his excitement; “I didn’t know that the CEO for a day would be this massive. The Chief Human Resources officer greeted me outside! I’ve been sharing and swapping ideas with Mazen, the Chief Operating Officer. Since I stepped in here, it has been an amazing time. I’m not sure how to thank MTN. This has been an unbelievable experience. Thank you so much.” The young boy also thanked his school for the chance to live out one of his dreams.

Lagos State Private Schools Spelling Bee competition was organised in partnership with the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (Lagos State Chapter). The competition commenced in June 2019 with the intra-school phase. Each participating school had 21 spellers with five spellers advancing to the next stage. The competition progressed to the semi-final/inter-school stage at six different district locations; the stage produced 31 outstanding spellers from 26 schools.

Great initiative, this will spur this kid for greater things in the future

Aside that, MTN must reduce the cost of data.

Anything for our kids to be happy.

MTN can do better with regards to CSR particularly offering scholarship

.

If I were that boy, they will pay me the daily salary of the CEO and entitlements.

Congrats boy Yoruba making Nigeria proud right from time immemorial

west side; the best side

I am going to be in calabar to experience the 5G when it gets there.

MTN is stealing data and money, even in Free Basics.

Hmmm. MTN should be ready to spend a huge amount of money, 5G cell towers will have to be much closer than with previous cellular network generations. In other words, 5G means a lot more towers.

Fine girl like you.
NA Igbo man you go marry.

Wait o, what happened to that one day governor usually organized by lagos state back then self?

I know Tinubu's wife started it then as the first lady when they allow the winner of the spelling bee competition sit as one day governor in Lagos state. It seem the whole thing has been watered down(that is if it has not been scrapped, tho I'm not sure)

Anyways, back then I feel those kids who end up being one day governor should be monitored; at least after 5 or 6 years after secondary school we should know how well they've fare either in the university or as a skilled technician/tradesmen and women.

Rubbish. Your 4G is shite and you guys are talking about 5G already. How about fixing your 4G to run properly first.

The boy should just sign a life salary for himself with all entitlement of the CEO..MTN go shock
We sell quality and affordable Smart TVs

If they appoint my kid for 1 day, I will teach him how to embezzle billions

You are referring to a past event, today is 9th of December, the event occurred on 5th of December.
So, the chain of events indicated that your question is irrelevant at this time.

Aswear if I had the power, mtn won't bring any nonsense 5G until they address many issues on ground.
But trust we naija people.
Anything free is not questioned.
