MTN Nigeria has entered a partnership with CardCentre Nigeria Limited, a subsidiary of Chams HoldCo, to introduce eco-friendly SIM cards made entirely from biodegradable materials.
The launch took place in Lagos. It targets the reduction of plastic waste across Nigeria and the wider West African region.

In addition, Tobe Okigbo, a Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer at MTN Nigeria, stated, “This partnership underscores our commitment to sustainability and innovation, while also supporting local businesses and economic growth through strategic alliances.”
