MTN Group has reaffirmed the strategic importance of Ghana within its global operations, announcing a 1.1 billion dollar investment over the next three years to accelerate digital and financial inclusion.
The Group Chief Executive Officer, Ralph Mupita, said the investment will prioritise digital infrastructure expansion, improved quality of service, and deeper broadband coverage across the country.
Speaking during a media engagement in Accra, Mr. Mupita revealed that MTN currently operates about five thousand telecommunications sites nationwide and will deploy an additional five hundred sites this year.
He said Ghana has become one of the Group’s strongest and most promising markets, driven by consistent performance and long-term growth prospects, and announced that MTN Ghana will, from this year, be recognized as the Group’s third major subsidiary.
He said, up until the end of last year, MTN had two major subsidiaries within the context of the MTN Group across all markets serving the 300 million plus customers. This year, he mentioned they are adding Ghana as the third major subsidiary for the whole group, purely as a function of the way it has performed and the potential that we see going forward.
The Group’s two other major subsidiaries are in South Africa and Nigeria.
Mr. Mupita also disclosed that MTN Ghana emerged as the best-performing operation across all MTN markets in 2025 under the company’s internal Million Dollar Challenge.
During his visit, the MTN Group Chief Executive also held discussions with the Minister of Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Sam George, focusing on network performance improvements and the possible release of 5G spectrum to strengthen home and enterprise connectivity.
