MTN Group leaders came to Uganda for talks with top officials. Chairman Mcebisi Jonas met President Museveni at State House along with CEO Ralph Mupita. During the trip, they gathered board chairs from different MTN areas. They also hosted a dinner with government workers, rule makers, and business heads.

The company hopes to connect Ugandan sellers with South African buyers. MTN sees Uganda as a main part of its work to bring digital tools across Africa.
