Commenting on the gains, Philip Amoateng, Chief Executive Officer, Tigo Rwanda, said,
Our positive subscriber growth is a testament to not only the growth of customer confidence in the quality of the services we offer, such as the fast data and Tigo Cash mobile financial services but also the highly motivated sales and distribution team that we have on the ground.
The growth in the customer base is coming simultaneously with the launch of our new marketing campaign, ‘Tigo Yanjye ’and the introduction of three innovative products - Imirongo Yose (All Network pack), Izansure (personalized offers) and the Africa packs for international call. We are working towards becoming the market leader by the end of 2017”.
