MTN Ghana has stated that it will wait for the government’s decision regarding its potential involvement in the Next Gen Infraco (NGIC) consortium, which is leading the nationwide rollout of 5G technology.
The deployment of 5G infrastructure has already begun in Accra, Kumasi, and Takoradi, with plans to expand coverage across the country within the next two years.
Marking his first anniversary as CEO of MTN Ghana, Stephen Blewett addressed the situation, stating that the company is awaiting direction from the Minister of Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovation, Samuel George.
“We’ve had engagements with NGIC and discussions on the matter. Regardless of how the 5G rollout unfolds, MTN will be involved in some capacity—whether through NGIC, a hybrid model, or other approaches. We are open to being part of the rollout and collaborating as partners. For now, we will wait for direction from the minister,” Blewett said.
Blewett reassured the public about concerns regarding the transition to 5G technology, emphasizing MTN Ghana’s commitment to ensuring a smooth and efficient rollout of the new network.
