Airtel Nigeria has launched a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) campaign aimed at addressing the technology and connectivity needs of underserved communities across the country. This initiative focuses on enhancing digital literacy and providing affordable access to mobile and internet services in rural and low-income areas. The campaign, which aligns with Airtel’s broader vision of bridging the digital divide, is expected to improve the lives of millions who lack access to modern technology and connectivity.
