MTN Group President and CEO, Ralph Mupita, has completed a three-day working visit to Ghana aimed at advancing the company’s digital ambitions and reinforcing its commitment to the Ghanaian market.
In a media interaction, Mr. Mupita announced plans to invest US$1.1 billion in Ghana over the next three years to strengthen infrastructure and improve service delivery. He emphasized that the accelerated capital expenditure reflects the company’s confidence in its Ghana operations.
“We are going to accelerate capital investment within the business, US$1.1 billion equivalent over a three-year period to build robust infrastructure. Previously, we invested US$1 billion over five years. MTN Ghana built 50 sites in 2025 and between 25 to 30 sites in 2024,” he stated.
During the visit, the Group CEO engaged key stakeholders across the public sector. Discussions focused on strengthening collaboration, driving investment to support Ghana’s national development, and positioning MTN to continue delivering leading digital solutions for Africa’s progress.
Mr. Mupita also met with MTN Ghana’s leadership team and employees, reiterating the Group’s confidence in the Ghana business and outlining expectations for the year ahead. These engagements highlighted ongoing investment in network resilience, customer experience, digital innovation, and youth empowerment initiatives.
He further announced that MTN Ghana has been formally elevated to the status of a major subsidiary within the MTN Group, reflecting its growing strategic importance.
For his part, MTN Ghana CEO Stephen Blewett disclosed plans to roll out at least 500 new network sites by the end of 2026. “Now, we are moving to 500 sites in a single year. And why are we doing that? Because it gives a better quality of service to our customers,” he said.
During his three-day visit, Mr. Mupita visited key government institutions, including the Bank of Ghana, Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), and the Ministry of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations.
“This acceleration demonstrates that Ghana remains a material operation for the Group,” he stated.
Senior Vice President of MTN Group, Ebenezer Asante, also reiterated the importance of deepening collaboration with government and regulatory agencies.
