The Minister of Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has ordered the closure of seven radio stations across the country.

The affected stations include Gumah FM in Bawku, Fire Group of Companies in Sunyani (operating on 90.1 MHz), and Okyeame Radio Limited in Bibiani.

Sharing this update on his X page on Tuesday, January 17, 2025, the minister stated that the decision was made in accordance with the country’s broadcasting regulations and due to national security concerns.

“Today, in two separate cases, I have directed the NCA Ghana to suspend and enforce a prohibition of broadcast on a total of seven (7) radio stations.

“In one instance, the decision was based on national security grounds, while in six other cases, it was due to broadcasting without a valid frequency authorization following a recent frequency audit. Enforcement of this directive is immediate, and further action will be taken in the coming days,” he noted.

Sam Nartey George also reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring that all media houses comply with the country’s media regulations.

“I reiterate my commitment to sanitizing our airwaves and ensuring strict adherence to the law regarding frequency authorizations. I urge all media houses to ensure they are complying with ALL the terms of their frequency authorizations,” he stated.
