MTN Ghana has held the 2025 edition of its Editors’ Forum for media practitioners in the Bono, Bono East and Ahafo Regions, where it announced preparations for a major network expansion and upgrades in that area in the coming year.
General Manager for MTN Ghana’s Northern Business District, Nii Adotey Mingle made the announcement at this year’s Editor’s Forum for journalists in the Bono, Bono East and Ahafo Regions, where participants were briefed on the company’s performance over the last 29 years as part of efforts to deepen media understanding of MTN’s operations, vision and future priorities.
He noted that MTN invests approximately $100 million annually in network expansion nationwide, adding that for the upcoming year, the company has identified seven communities in the Bono Region and three in the Bono East Region for priority expansion works.
Nii Adotey Mingle explained that MTN’s new strategy aims to significantly improve coverage across all three regions, boosting customer experience and confidence in the network.
“The future is bright. In 2026, our focus is to broaden coverage and reinforce our presence in these regions,” he said.
Mr. Mingle added that MTN Ghana intends to strengthen its role within the digital ecosystem by focusing on five strategic pillars—aimed at transforming the company into a platform player that empowers partners, supports innovation and delivers diverse services to consumers.
He noted that MTN is accelerating growth in digital services, fintech, and network modernization, and has realigned these priorities into its mission statement to ensure success through strong partnerships.
“We are working to move businesses along with us and achieve our target of reaching millions of Ghanaians by 2030,” he said. “With your participation and support, the media can help educate the public on what our platform vision means and its implications for national development.”
Mr. Mingle added that MTN believes technology plays a crucial role in driving Ghana’s development, and the company remains committed to investing in systems and structures that support the national digitalization agenda.
He also used the opportunity to call for deeper collaboration between the company and the media to enhance effective communication and service delivery.
During the open forum, some media practitioners raised concerns about poor network connectivity in parts of the three regions and appealed to MTN to strengthen its communication infrastructure in the coming years.
Others highlighted the growing challenge of mobile money fraud, calling on MTN to tighten its security systems and collaborate more closely with the Ghana Police Service to track and prosecute fraudsters.
MTN officials assured participants that the concerns raised would be factored into ongoing improvement plans, as the company remains committed to ensuring reliable service and customer safety.
