“In the spirit of the season, I would like to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to you all our stakeholders, for keeping faith with us in the globally challenging and a uniquely blustery year. We have come this far only because we had you standing strong with us every bit of the way; and it is not just this year, but indeed, since our inception,” he said.

Beuvelet added that 9Mobile management sincerely appreciates both the commitment of its internal stakeholders and encouragement from external stakeholders. “Our key stakeholders in one way or the other provided the critical lifeline that we needed to thrive. Most importantly, as our valued customers, you stayed with us, demonstrating unalloyed loyalty and confidence in 9Mobile. As a result, today, we are here standing, and we are grateful,”, he asserted.

The Acting MD said, in furtherance of its commitment to delivering superior customer experience, 9Mobile is set to break many new grounds in 2019 by kick-starting a new strategic direction with bold initiatives that guarantee optimum value to customers.
