MTN Nigeria Surprises Enugu Couple with N2m at ‘Yello Wedding’

MTN Nigeria has surprised a newlywed couple in Enugu, Mr. Uchechukwu and Mrs. Dorin Anugwo, with a cash gift of N2 million under its nationwide YelloTide festive campaign.

The surprise, tagged the “Yello Wedding”, took place on Saturday at the Community Primary School, Ugwuaji, in Enugu South Local Government Area of Enugu State.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that MTN launched the YelloTide campaign in November as a three-phase initiative designed to spread joy, kindness and human connection across Nigeria during the 2025 festive season.

The campaign features community engagements, surprise giveaways and shared social experiences aimed at creating memorable moments for Nigerians.

Speaking at the event, MTN’s Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer, Tobe Okigbo, said the gesture reflected the company’s core value of connection.

“At MTN, we impact lives, support people and create meaningful connections. What we have done today is to recognise and celebrate the connection between this couple, which is essentially what we do,” Okigbo said.

He explained that the couple was selected randomly and had no prior knowledge of the surprise.

Responding, Mr. Anugwo, an Assistant Superintendent with the Federal Fire Service in Enugu, said he and his wife, Dorin, were overwhelmed by the unexpected gesture.

Describing the gift as “divine,” Anugwo thanked MTN Nigeria, saying he never imagined such a blessing after receiving the MTN message.

“My wife and I are truly impressed and grateful for what MTN has done,” he said. (NAN).
