    Last year, Tigo passed the two million customers mark having grown by over 25% in  2013 and achieving a 31% market share.“think” will be launched at an event in Kigali later today attended by Jean-Philbert Nsengimana, Rwanda’s Minister for  ICT and Hans-Holger Albrecht, the President and CEO of Millicom.

We are looking forward to driving the digital revolution with talented youth in all our Tigo operations in Africa.”
