All companies should join the road safety campaign

You may have noticed that MTN Rwanda has teamed up with the Rwanda National Police’s Road Safety Week by sponsoring billboards communicating responsible driving behavior.

I was truly amazed to see them sponsoring a billboard informing us that we should not talk on phone while driving.

The mobile phone has become an important aspect of our lives and we seem to forget that it can unfortunately be the cause of loss of life if used inappropriately, for example, while driving.

I must compliment MTN Rwanda for putting profits aside and social responsibility up front and I want to challenge other companies to do the same.
