MTN Ghana has announced a US$1 billion investment plan to significantly improve network quality, expand coverage nationwide and strengthen the digital infrastructure that supports Ghana’s economy.

The commitment, unveiled by the the Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Blewett, will be rolled out over the next three years and is expected to deliver clearer calls, faster data speeds and more reliable connectivity for millions of customers, including those in underserved communities. “Customers are using more data than ever before, and we must continue to invest to meet that demand and improve service quality”, Blewett said.

The announcement was made at MTN Ghana’s 2026 Media and Stakeholder Engagement in Accra, attended by representatives from government, regulatory bodies, industry, civil society, and the media.
