Disclosing the company’s support during a courtesy call by the Executives of the Coalition at the Company’s Head Office in Accra, the Chief Executive Officer of AirtelTigo, Murthy Chaganti, said: “COVID-19 has changed the world as we know it. It has also made us realize that we have to win this battle against the virus together.”
