Vision 2020: MTN To Assist Nigeria
Mobile communication giant, MTN Nigeria, has pledged to assist the Federal Government to attain its Vision 2020 through the provision of effective telecommunication facilities across the country.
The company’s Chief Enterprise Officer, Mr. Derek Appiah, said this in Kaduna during the inauguration of a new Internet device, the MTN HyNet, in the state.
Appiah noted that the HyNet internet device was being introduced in Nigeria to revolutionise the internet market in the country.
He added that the introduction of the HyNet internet would boost communication in the country, as the processes of conducting business would greatly improve.
“Indeed, life is about to get a whole lot better. Today, we bring to you a service which is guaranteed to transform your internet experience and offer businesses in this city a platform to improve their efficiency,” Appiah said.
The company’s chief enterprise officer explained that the MTN HyNet was a prepaid high speed Internet service, which combines the speed and reliability of a fixed broadband Internet with the convenience and flexibility of a mobile internet service.
He said, “It is a service that is primed to bring efficiency and convenience to offices and homes in Kaduna. With MTN HyNet, you get the experience of a superfast broadband internet, with up to 1Mbps download speed – 16 times faster than a telephone line. With the installation of MTN HyNet modem in your offices or home, you enjoy wireless connectivity anywhere within 50 metres radius of the modem.
“MTN HyNet offers multi-user functionality without the need for wires. With the inbuilt Wi-Fi capability, various computers within an office or residential premises can wirelessly connect to MTN HyNet simultaneously. This makes this service an excellent choice for Small and Medium Enterprises, Small Office Home Office and other such set ups.
“That is not all; MTN HyNet is the only service of its kind that allows customers to choose the internet speed suitable for them based on pattern or volume of internet usage. But more importantly, there is no cap on download. You can download as much as you want without worrying about additional charges.

Kenyan Runners Dominate Berlin Marathons
Kenya made it a clean sweep at the Berlin Marathon with Sabastian Sawe winning the men’s race and Rosemary Wanjiru triumphing in the women’s.
Sawe finished in two hours, two minutes and 16 seconds to make it three wins in his first three marathons.
The 30-year-old, who was victorious at this year’s London Marathon, set a sizzling pace as he left the field behind and ran much of the race surrounded only by his pacesetters.
Japan’s Akasaki Akira came second after a powerful latter half of the race, finishing almost four minutes behind Sawe, while Ethiopia’s Chimdessa Debele followed in third.
“I did my best and I am happy for this performance,” said Sawe.
“I am so happy for this year. I felt well but you cannot change the weather. Next year will be better.”
Sawe had Kelvin Kiptum’s 2023 world record of 2:00:35 in his sights when he reached halfway in 1:00:12, but faded towards the end.
In the women’s race, Wanjiru sped away from the lead pack after 25 kilometers before finishing in 2:21:05.
Ethiopia’s Dera Dida followed three seconds behind Wanjiru, with Azmera Gebru, also of Ethiopia, coming third in 2:21:29.
Wanjiru’s time was 12 minutes slower than compatriot Ruth Chepng’etich’s world record of 2:09:56, which she set in Chicago in 2024.
