MTN Nigeria, the leading telecommunication company and Forte Oil plc have unveiled a strategic partnership that is geared towards serving the telecommunication and fuel needs of their customers in Nigeria, DigitalSENSE Business News reports.
 The Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director MTN Nigeria, Mr Michael Ikpoki, speaking with DigitalSENSE Business News in a chat, said that MTN Nigeria and Forte Oil share the same value and as MTN is connecting with the customers, Forte oil provides fuel for their movement.

Ikpoki said the partnership is to make life more convenient for customers since Forte Oil operates 24 hours services across the country so MTN customers will benefit as its products will be available in all the 500 Forte Oil retail outlets across the country.

“It is a relationship for the future as Forte oil continues to expand, MTN will be doing the same. MTN and Forte oil customers are at liberty to enjoy 24 hours services getting all the MTN products ranging from purchase of SIM cards, registration and recharging, while buying fuel and other Forte Oil Plc products in a one- stop shop,” he said.

The Group Chief Executive Officer, Forte Oil Plc Mr Akin Akinfemiwa also informed DigitalSENSE Business News that his company saw MTN Nigeria as a reliable partner with strong brand that would help to boost its  own revenue potential.

Akinfemiwa said that the theme ‘fuelling communication’ is apt because Forte oil needs a superior  service delivery as the customers come first which will  now make MTN  customers to drive into 500 Forte Oil station nationwide to fuel their cars and at the same time meet their communication needs.

“I believe that for every ten customers that come into Forte Oil station, seven of them use MTN. So it is an attraction for people to meet their telecommunication needs and that will make them to think about Forte Oil first. We have opportunity to offer superior customer services to our customers and in addition boost our revenue,” Akinfemiwa said.
