On May 15, 2025, the National Communications Authority (NCA) welcomed a six-member delegation from Ericsson to the NCA Tower in Accra to explore new areas of collaboration in telecommunications innovation.
Welcoming the team, Rev. Ing. Edmund Yirenkyi Fianko, Acting Director General of the NCA, reaffirmed the Authority’s dedication to stakeholder engagement. He announced plans for a public consultation on the Managed Services Licence, noting that Ericsson’s input would be vital to ensuring inclusivity and regulatory stability in this evolving space.
Majda Lahlou Kassi, Vice President and Head of Customer Unit for West and Southern Africa at Ericsson, commended Ghana’s regulatory leadership and expressed the company’s ongoing support for digital empowerment initiatives, including the “One Million Coders” program launched by the Ministry of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation.
She also emphasized the transformative potential of 5G, stating:
“5G is not just about faster internet — it’s a platform for entirely new use cases that have not yet entered the market. We are eager to support Ghana’s journey in deploying 5G in a way that balances innovation, stability, and local interest.”
The visiting Ericsson team included Fabrizio Cara, Head of Cloud Services; Richard Kweku Arthur, Country Manager; Badr Ndor, Head of Networks; and Rostand Njomgang, Director at Ericsson.
