The Managing
Director/Chief Executive of Media Perspectives, Tayo Oyedeji, has
said that the company’s collaboration with ARM, Coca-Cola, Jumia,
Leadway, Mansard and Samsung to create the Good Morning Nigeria Free Calls
initiative (GMN), would enable phone subscribers enjoy unique phone experience
without draining their pockets.
Oyedeji, who was speaking
during a press conference in Lagos to announce the GMN initiative stated that
the campaign remained a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as well as
advertising-funded initiative that would enable subscribers enjoy free talk
time within the hours of 5am to 8am daily.
Speaking further, Oyedeji
said, “We appreciate how important communication is to the lives of the
Nigerian people. We also recognise that the current economic situation
has caused a reduction in spending power. The campaign aims to put money back
into the pockets of subscribers so they can use the savings for themselves and
their families. We are happy to collaborate with likeminded corporate
organizations to provide an opportunity for phone users to enjoy quality talk
time for free through the GMN initiative.”
He added that for subscribers to enjoy the free
call, they have to make a three- minute straight call to an MTN number and get 30 minutes free to continue on the same call. To receive this benefit, customers will be required to text GMN to 131. The service which is available only on the MTN network is an innovation that will deploy mobile advertising while making phone calls free.

Head, Corporate
Communications, Leadway Assurance, Olubunmi Adeleye, represented by Mr. Victor
Achudume, commended the partner companies for bringing the campaign to the
Nigerian people. According to him, “We believe in the potential of this country
and we are always looking for ways to better the lives of our customers.
Democracy Day is a key milestone of our evolution as a country and that is why
we are celebrating it by partnering with Media Perspectives to launch this
campaign on May 29. We hope that this will be the beginning of similar
partnerships that will benefit the Nigerian people”.
Also speaking on the
partnership, Head, Offline Channel Unit, Jumia, Afam Anyika, described the GMN
campaign as a medium for the organizers to appreciate their teeming customers.
He said: “What is significant for us is that we appreciate the custom and support
of Nigerians. We represent different brands but a central factor that binds our
customers together is the need to communicate. So for us, this is a platform to
say thank you to our consumers and encourage them to support us even more.”
