Airtel Nigeria used its annual Airtel White Glam Party on Tuesday evening to spotlight a series of organisational and social-impact initiatives that shaped its 2025 business year. The event, held in Lagos, brought together company leaders, employees, partners and other stakeholders to review progress and outline priorities heading into 2026.
In his address, Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director Dinesh Balsingh linked the company’s performance to internal capacity and stakeholder collaboration, noting that Airtel’s gains this year were driven by “people, partners and stakeholders who bring passion and commitment” to the organisation.
The company’s Director of Human Resources & Administration, Adebimpe Ayo-Elias, outlined several policy and personnel developments implemented during the year. These include expanded employee health-insurance coverage, enhanced pension contributions, 91 internal promotions, and broader leadership-development platforms such as the Thriversity and Global Accelerate programmes. According to her, employee engagement also improved through the Employee Board Connect initiative.
Beyond internal reforms, Airtel highlighted several community-focused and innovation-driven projects. These include:
- Graduation of the second cohort of its undergraduate internship programme.
- Launch of the 3MTT NEXTGEN Fellowship, targeting the training of 25,000 young Nigerians.
- Ongoing support for adopted schools, education schemes and talent-development programmes.
- Expansion of technology innovations such as the AI Spam Alert Service, new CoCo shops, SmartCash upgrades and the Airtel 5G SmartConnect ODU.
The event also recognised employees through the Employee of the Year and Long Service awards.
While the night featured performances from artists May D, 9ice, Lil Kesh and other entertainers, company officials said the core focus was acknowledging contributions that shaped Airtel Nigeria’s operational and social-impact footprint in 2025.
Airtel Nigeria says it aims to build on the year’s achievements as it moves into 2026.
