MTN Ghana has won six awards at the 2026 National Project Management Conference (NPMC) and Project Management Excellence Awards (PMEA), organised by the Project Management Institute (PMI) Ghana Chapter.

The awards were in recognition of MTN Ghana’s work in project delivery, telecommunications infrastructure, technology development, project oversight and leadership.

The six awards won by MTN Ghana are:

  • Project of the Year – Winner – Fiber Go-Big FTTH Project
  • Telecom Project of the Year – Winner – Fiber Go-Big FTTH Project
  • PMO of the Year – First Runner-Up – MTN Ghana Transformation Office
  • IT Project of the Year – Second Runner-Up – CS Hardware Expansion Project
  • Project Manager of the Year – Winner – Edward Ohene Antwi Boasiako
  • Project Manager of the Year – First Runner-Up – Manuella Asianoa

The Fiber Go-Big FTTH Project earned MTN Ghana both the Project of the Year and Telecom Project of the Year awards. The project expanded broadband access across six regions of Ghana, exceeding the target for home passed and increasing MTN Ghana’s fibre coverage and homes connected.

The CS Hardware Expansion Project (CIS NextGen) was recognised as the Second Runner-Up for IT Project of the Year. The project upgraded MTN Ghana’s customer information systems infrastructure, improving system capacity, reliability and service availability.

MTN Ghana’s Transformation Office received the First Runner-Up award in the PMO of the Year category for its role in overseeing projects across the business and ensuring investments deliver the intended results.

Commenting on the achievement, Stephen Blewett, Chief Executive Officer of MTN Ghana, said: “These awards are not only about projects. They are about strategy delivered. Every fibre home passed and every system upgraded is a building block of Ambition 2030 — our commitment to lead the delivery of digital solutions for Africa’s progress. Ghana’s digital economy will be built on infrastructure that works, and that is what disciplined project delivery gives us. My thanks go to our Transformation Office, our project teams and our partners, who continue to turn ambition into something our customers and this country can actually use.”

William Tetteh, Chief Transformation Officer of MTN Ghana, said the awards reflect a deliberate discipline behind how we deliver on  the business plans . “Ambition is the easy part. Delivery is key. Exceeding our target did not happen by chance.  It happened because our team planned tightly and ensured no project drifted. That discipline is how  we work, and it is not a one-off effort. Our commitment is simple: deliver  on time, keep holding ourselves accountable, and make sure every cedi we invest shows up in a better for the customer.”

The 2026 National Project Management Conference and Project Management Excellence Awards brought together project management professionals, business leaders and industry stakeholders to recognise outstanding achievements in project delivery and discuss the role of project management in supporting business growth and national development.
