South Africa’s telecom giant MTN Group is doubling down on Ghana, pledging to invest $1.1 billion over the next three years and elevating the country to one of its three core global subsidiaries alongside South Africa and Nigeria. Announced in Accra by CEO Ralph Mupita, the move reflects Ghana’s strong performance and growing strategic importance within MTN’s 300-million-customer network. The investment will expand broadband coverage, add 500 new telecom sites this year, strengthen digital infrastructure, and accelerate financial inclusion through mobile money and AI-driven services. Beyond infrastructure, discussions with regulators focused on 5G spectrum rollout and tackling mobile money fraud—positioning Ghana at the center of MTN’s next phase of African digital growth.
