The 2-bedroom house was built in fulfilment of a promise made to Ms Tetteh two years ago at the MoMo 10th anniversary celebration in 2019.

At an event held at the premises of the house in Doboro, the leadership of MTN Mobile Money Limited handed over the keys of the building to her.

The Chief Executive Officer of MTN Mobile Money Limited, Eli Hini said the presentation was part of the company's effort to honour and celebrate all stakeholders who contributed greatly to the MoMo journey.

"In view of the success chalked over the years, Mobile Money decided to honour all stakeholders who played very critical roles in the MoMo journey during our 10th anniversary celebrations," Hini said.
