General Manager for the Ashanti region Mr James Bukari Basintale said, “the festival is meant to bring us closer to the people of the Ashanti region and to show that we are committed to brightening the lives of our customers in that region. “At MTN, our customers come first in all that we do and this is why we created the regional festivals to bring us closer to our subscribers”.
Ashanti Fest is one of the several regional festivals designed by MTN across the country to acknowledge and promote the rich culture of the communities in which we operate. It is held in appreciation of the continuous support of the region to the growth of the MTN. Other MTN initiated regional festivals include: Koftownfest (Eastern Region) Suncity fest (Brong Ahafo Region), Oil City fest (Western Region) and Savanna fest (for the three Northern Regions).
