MTN Ghana says it will invest US$1 billion over the next three years to expand its network and improve service delivery across the country.
The announcement was made by the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Blewett, at its 2026 Media and Stakeholder Engagement held in Accra on April 27.
The investment is expected to focus on improving network quality, extending coverage and strengthening digital infrastructure. According to the company, this will result in faster data speeds, clearer calls and more reliable connectivity for customers, including those in underserved areas.
“Customers are using more data than ever before, and we must continue to invest to meet that demand and improve service quality,” Mr Blewett said. He added that the investment reflects MTN Ghana’s confidence in the country’s economy and its commitment to supporting digital transformation.
As part of the plan, MTN Ghana intends to deploy about 800 new cell sites in 2026 to increase network capacity and coverage.
The company says the investment is also expected to support economic activity in sectors that depend on telecommunications services, including small businesses, education, healthcare and financial services.
Mr Blewett said MTN Ghana remains optimistic about Ghana’s economic outlook despite global economic uncertainties, adding that continued investment in digital infrastructure is important for productivity and long-term growth.
The event brought together representatives from government, regulatory bodies, industry, civil society and the media.
