Woman in first MTN MoMo TV commercial gifted 2-bedroom house

The woman who led the "Me nsa aka ooo" TV commercial 13 years ago to promote MTN's Mobile Money (MoMo) has been gifted a 2-bedroom house.

MTN MobileMoney Limited, a subsidiary of MTN Ghana, gifted her the house, worth over GH¢300,000. It is located at Doboro in Greater Accra.

The woman, Rita Nhyiraba Tetteh was the lead character in the first MTN Mobile Money television and radio commercial.

In the commercial, she gave a testimony on how she instantly received the money on her mobile wallet when it was sent and shouted in twi to announce she has received the money, "me nsa aka oo" as against another character who was asking where the money was - "na sika no wo hen" [Ah! where is the money].

The 2-bedroom house was built in fulfilment of a promise made to Tetteh two years ago at the MoMo 10th anniversary celebration in 2019.

At an event held at the premises of the house in Doboro, the leadership of MTN Mobile Money Limited handed over the keys of the building to her.

The Chief Executive Officer of MTN Mobile Money Limited, Eli Hini said the presentation was part of the company's effort to honour and celebrate all stakeholders who contributed greatly to the MoMo journey.

In view of the success chalked over the years, Mobile Money decided to honour all stakeholders who played very critical roles in the MoMo journey during our 10th anniversary celebrations," Hini said.

Fitch Solutions retains 2025 growth rate projection at 4.2%

Fitch Solutions has reaffirmed its projection that Ghana’s economy will expand by 4.2% in 2025. This estimate slightly exceeds the International Monetary Fund’s forecast of 4% and the World Bank’s projection of 3.9%. The UK-based research firm attributes its outlook to historically high gold prices, which are expected to cushion the Ghanaian economy against a global slowdown triggered by rising tariffs.

Moreover, the US constitutes only about 4% to 5% of Ghana’s total exports. In contrast, Ghana’s trade relations are more heavily oriented toward China and European countries, particul...

BoG injects $20m into FX market to support 11 BDCs

The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has injected $20 million into the foreign exchange market in the latest round of its forward FX auction targeted at Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs). The intervention, which benefited eleven BDCs, is part of the central bank’s broader strategy to stabilise the cedi and ensure price stability in the petroleum downstream sector. Held on Tuesday, April 29, the auction was priced at a locked exchange rate of GHS 14.28 to the US dollar, with bid offers ranging from GHS 13.85 to GHS 15.55. This move reflects the BoG’s continued effort to deepen forex liquidity and safeguard the domestic fuel supply chain against volatility in global energy markets. By directly supplying FX to BDCs, the central bank seeks to ease pressure on the interbank market, guarantee the uninterrupted flow of petroleum products, and mitigate the pass-through effects of exchange rate fluctuations on fuel prices. The $20 million disbursement forms part of a $120 million programme for th...
