MTN subscribers to hit 11,000,000 by the close of 2012

MTN Ghana, a global telecommunication giant, is set to see the number of its subscribers in the country jump to 11,000,000 by the close of this year.

Its total subscribers as of the end of year 2011 stood at 10,156,000.

Mrs Cynthia Lumor, Corporate Services Executive, said, MTN was determined to provide world class services to their customers through investments in technology and live up to their social responsibility.

She was interacting with some editors and senior editors in the Ashanti Region, in Kumasi, to update them on developments in the telecommunication industry.

Among these were the MTN’s data drive, industry concerns, new products and quality challenges and others.

Mrs Lumor appealed to particularly road contractors to be more careful and avoid destroying underground fibre cables.

Cuts of the fibre cables, makes it difficult for those in the affected areas to access telecommunication services and also leave the network operators with huge repair cost.

Mrs Georgina Asare Fiagbenu, Senior Manager for Corporate Communications said, MTN would sustain its engagement with the media to help the public to keep track of happenings in the industry.

Nana Yaw Osei, Ashanti Regional Chairman of Ghana Journalists Association, said the association would partner the company to deliberate on issues relating to quality service delivery.**
