Supporting local entrepreneurs and individuals with digital skills is a priority for me. By introducing local digital solutions to the market, we will create significant opportunities for both MTN Ghana and the country as a whole,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Blewett also discussed the Ghana ICT Hub project, a flagship initiative launched in 2023 with the aim of enhancing the country\u2019s ICT ecosystem in sectors such as health, agriculture, and education.<\/p>\n<p>Expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2026, the hub is intended to facilitate skills development and create job opportunities for the youth. However, he stressed that it should not be merely a symbolic structure. \u201cI do not want a large ICT centre that remains empty after a year. It must incubate new ideas, nurture entrepreneurs, and position Ghana on the global digital map. If we don\u2019t ensure its active use collectively, it risks becoming just another ribbon-cutting ceremony without a lasting impact,\u201d he cautioned.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding network performance, the CEO assured customers that they would notice significant improvements.<\/p>\n<p>He stated, \u201cOur network is getting better, and I can confidently say that this year, customers will see remarkable enhancements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He revealed that MTN Ghana invests over $200 million annually in infrastructure, with total investments exceeding $1 billion over the past five years, which is a key driver of the company\u2019s market leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Blewett, who took over the leadership of MTN Ghana on April 1st of last year, has a background in various leadership positions, including serving as MTN Group Operations Executive for Markets, where he oversaw operations in eight countries in West and Central Africa. He also held the position of CEO at MTN in Benin and Cameroon.<\/p>\n<p>Under his leadership and focus on operational excellence, MTN Ghana has experienced impressive growth and performance, with over 28.4 million mobile subscribers, 16.4 million active data subscribers, and 16.5 million active mobile money subscribers.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen\u2019s emphasis on key commercial strategies, stakeholder engagement, and positive customer and employee experiences continues to position MTN Ghana as an employer of choice and the leading telecommunications and platform provider in the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Ghana<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
