Accra, May 1, GNA - The Corporate Communications team of Tigo Ghana has been adjudged the 'Best Communications Team' at the African Excellence Awards held in Cape Town, South Africa, on April 21, 2016.

Some of the key projects it had worked on to build an enviable reputation for Tigo include engagements on network investments, products, marketing and customer operations campaigns, and most notably Shelter 4 Education and the Mobile Digital Library projects as part of the company's corporate social responsibility.
Th Director for Corporate Affairs, Gifty Bingley, said: 'We are thrilled to receive this award because it reinforces the strong track record we have established for delivering compelling content, campaigns and staff engagements.
'We thank the Millicom Group, the Ghana Leadership team, colleagues, and projects partners for their excellent collaborative support.'
The CEO for Tigo Ghana, Roshi Motman, commended the team for its contribution to Tigo Ghana's excellent business results over the last two years.
'Great teams create great results and I am proud of the excellent achievements by Gifty and the team,' she said.
The five-member team is responsible for Tigo's external and internal communications, Social Investment and Corporate Responsibility portfolios. It has since merged with the Regulatory and Government Relations Team to become Corporate Affairs.
