"The MTN Heroes of Change over the years, has consistently shown the Ghanaian potential to transform his community, if he sets his mind to it.

"To us as a business, nothing is more inspiring than to see our vision of being an enabler of societal change being replicated in our communities through the works of these heroes,'' Adadevoh said.
