MTN Ghana has invested over US$1 billion in network expansion and service improvement as part of efforts to strengthen connectivity, enhance customer experience, and drive the nation’s digital transformation.
Madam Adjoa Wiafe, Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer of MTN Ghana, disclosed this at the 2025 MTN Editors’ and Stakeholders’ Forum held in Takoradi.
She said the investment reflects the company’s commitment to adapt to changing industry dynamics while positioning itself as more than a telecommunications provider.
“Our focus now extends beyond traditional telecoms. We are building a digital ecosystem that integrates fintech, connectivity, and digital tools to transform MTN from a telco into a platform business,” she said.
Madam Wiafe said MTN would continue to undertake major investment projects to sustain its leadership in Ghana’s telecom market, while also contributing meaningfully to national development as a responsible corporate citizen.
She highlighted the company’s increasing focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives, noting that MTN aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 through energy-efficient technologies and green operations.
“We are not only investing in digital connectivity but also in sustainability. Our goal is to reduce our carbon footprint while driving inclusive economic growth,” she added.
Under its economic empowerment programme, Madam Wiafe said MTN had launched smart farming initiatives designed to create jobs and improve productivity in the agricultural sector through the use of digital solutions.
Mr. Reuben Opata, Chief Technical Officer of MTN Ghana, also announced that the company plans to extend its network coverage to more underserved communities across the country in 2026 as part of its horizontal expansion strategy.
He advised customers to pay attention to the type and quality of devices they use, explaining that devices play a significant role in determining internet speed, data efficiency, and overall user experience.
MTN’s continuous investment, he said, underscores the company’s mission to support Ghana’s digital economy agenda by improving accessibility, connectivity, and innovation nationwide.
