Telecom Games football event Cup holders, MTN not only staved off a spirited challenge by Etisalat to successfully defend their title but also made a near clean sweep of the medals in other events as the Nigeria Telecommunications Games came to an exciting end last Saturday at the University of Lagos Sports Complex.

It was a well attended closing ceremony with former Super Eagles Manager, Samson Siasia and ex-international Waidi Akanni joining the top level executives of MTN and Etisalat to cheer the teams.

Some of those in the VIP pavilion from MTN included Andrew Ezemezie, the General Manager, Planning & Customer Management and from Etisalat were Rotimi Akapo, the Senior Manager Commercial Legal and John Murray, the Chief Information Officer, who earlier in the tournament won the 1500m race.

One goal each from Yusuf Abubakar and Alichie Iheukwumere sealed victory for MTN in the final which was dominated in the first 45 minutes by their opponents.
