Additional spectrum approved for MTN, Telecel – Sam George

The Minister of Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, has authorised the National Communications Authority (NCA) to allocate additional spectrum to telecommunications networks MTN Ghana and Telecel Ghana.

According to him, the move is aimed at equipping operators with more resources to enhance their service delivery and improve the overall quality of telecommunications services across the country.

Speaking at a press briefing on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, the minister stated that telecommunications companies that fail to provide quality service will face penalties.

“I have taken decisive action to approve technology neutrality for MTN and additional spectrum for MTN Ghana. I have also directed the NCA to make an additional spectrum offer to Telecel Ghana,” he announced.

He further added, “I wish to serve notice that the NCA will, within three months of assigning this additional spectrum, begin a rigorous enforcement of quality-of-service standards. Failure by network operators to improve service quality will result in stiff fines.”

These initiatives are part of broader efforts to enhance the reliability and performance of telecommunications services nationwide.
