Industry News

Ghana and Nigeria have agreed to build a formal bilateral cybercrime enforcement framework following a string of intelligence-led operations that resulted in the arrest of at least 242 Nigerian nationals across the Greater Accra Region since December, with Accra making clear it intends to make Ghana structurally unattractive as a base for organised cyber fraud.

Communications Minister Samuel Nartey George met Nigerian High Commissioner Ambassador Ibok Ete Ekwe Iban in Accra on Sunday February 16 to review the outcomes of the crackdowns and agree on practical steps the two countries will take together to protect the digital space. Ambassador Ibok Ete Ekwe Iban expressed concern over the scale of the arrests and pledged Nigeria’s commitment to tackling the root causes of cybercrime, while stressing the importance of protecting law-abiding Nigerians and maintaining the strong bilateral relationship between the two countries.

The diplomatic meeting came after a sequence of escalating operations. In December 2025, the Cyber Security Authority (CSA) of Ghana, working with National Security and the Ghana Police Service, arrested 48 suspected Nigerian cybercrime operatives in the Dawhenya area of the Ningo-Prampram constituency. Days later, a second operation resulted in the arrest of 141 Nigerians across Tabora and Lashibi, with investigators recovering 38 laptops and 150 mobile phones believed to have been used in cyber-related financial crimes. A Ghanaian landlord who allegedly housed approximately 100 of the suspects was also arrested.

The largest single operation came on January 16 and 17, 2026, when a joint task force comprising National Security Operations, the CSA, the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and the Ghana Police Service SWAT Unit conducted simultaneous raids at five locations in East Legon Hills, Afienya, Kwabenya, Weija and Tuba, netting 53 Nigerian nationals. Of those arrested, nine were identified as principal suspects allegedly linked to coordinating and executing cybercrime activities, while 44 others were assessed as victims of human trafficking and cybercrime exploitation found operating laptops inside apartments. Searches recovered 52 mobile phones, 62 laptop computers and two pump-action guns.

Minister George disclosed that some individuals arrested in earlier operations have already been profiled by the Ghana Immigration Service in collaboration with INTERPOL and handed over to Nigerian law enforcement at the Seme border, while others currently face criminal prosecution before Ghanaian courts.

The minister has urged foreign nationals to exercise caution before accepting invitations to Ghana from fellow nationals, particularly those promising employment or financial opportunities that have increasingly been used as recruitment tools for organised cybercrime syndicates. Both governments indicated that a structured cooperation arrangement, covering border security, intelligence sharing and cross-border prosecution, is now being developed.

Communications ministry cites national security, competition and market impact concerns

MTN’s bid to acquire IHS Towers will be subjected to a “thorough assessment,” a statement from Bosun Tijani, Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, said on Tuesday.

“Given the strategic importance of telecommunications infrastructure to national security, economic growth, financial services, innovation, and social inclusion, and to ensure strategic actions by private sector operators are in line with the market development agenda under the Renewed Hope policy directions of the President, the Ministry will undertake a thorough assessment of this development in collaboration with the relevant regulatory authorities to review its impact on the sector,” it read.

MTN Group on Tuesday announced plans to complete a full acquisition of the remaining 75% of IHS for $2.2 billion— US$1.1 billion in cash on IHS’s balance sheet, along with available liquidity and debt from MTN. The telecommunications company will pay $8.5 per share, in an all-cash deal that values the IHS Towers at $6.2 billion.

The telco currently owns 24.7% of IHS Towers and intends to take the company private once the transaction is completed. The deal would consolidate ownership of one of the most critical layers of Nigeria’s telecoms value chain under its largest mobile network operator.

IHS Towers is one of the largest independent tower companies globally, operating more than 37,000 towers across Africa and Latin America. Earlier in the day, it disclosed the sale of its Latin American assets to Macquarie Asset Management for approximately $952 million, signalling a retreat from the region and sharpening its focus on core African markets ahead of the proposed buyout.

However, the proposed sale has raised questions in Nigeria, where IHS provides tower infrastructure not only to MTN but also to rival operators, including Airtel Nigeria. With MTN currently controlling about 52% of the country’s mobile market, integrating both network services and tower infrastructure could shift competitive dynamics.

Tower companies typically operate as neutral entities. Any change in that structure, therefore, would need safeguards to preserve fair access, pricing transparency, and service quality across the industry.

The ministry’s review is expected to examine competition concerns, infrastructure sharing obligations, and broader implications for investment and digital inclusion. Regulators may also consider whether additional conditions are necessary to maintain a level playing field.

After emerging as the best-performing operating company (OpCo) at the MTN Global Leadership Gathering (GLG) 2026, MTN Ghana is now setting its sights on higher peaks in 2026.

Speaking exclusively on his vision for the year, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Stephen Blewett detailed a comprehensive strategy aimed at improving customer experience, expanding digital services and strengthening the company’s contribution to Ghana’s digital ecosystem.

Building on success: 

“It’s satisfying to accomplish a goal, yet the real work lies in setting the next one.”

“For 2026, our primary focus is enhancing the customer experience, understanding customer needs, and responding meaningfully. We are listening closely to customer feedback and taking steps to address customer needs ”.

Deepening Ghana’s digital ecosystem

A key element of MTN Ghana’s 2026 strategy is the expansion of digital services and the strengthening of the country’s digital ecosystem.

“The digital world is evolving rapidly, and we want to ensure that more Ghanaians have access to it,” Mr. Blewett said.

This includes enhancing home broadband products, expanding self-service options via mobile applications and supporting small and medium enterprises, particularly women-led businesses.

Mr. Blewett emphasized that digital inclusion is not only a convenience but also a tool for economic and social empowerment.

“Connectivity in rural areas goes beyond convenience; it is about inclusion — access to financial services, education, healthcare information, and economic opportunity. We must ensure that no community is left behind.”

Innovation at the core

Innovation remains central to MTN Ghana’s growth plans.

Mr. Blewett revealed that MTN Ghana is preparing internal strategy engagements to explore ways of leading innovation in Ghana.

“We are challenging ourselves to push boundaries, to ensure innovation is not just a buzzword but something that genuinely improves the lives of our customers,” he said.

“Innovation is about creating meaningful value that brings our customers closer to us,” he added.

MTN Ghana’s ambition to position the country as a leader in the digital future.

Investing in people and infrastructure

Mr. Blewett highlighted the company’s long-term investments as a key factor in sustaining leadership.

“Over the past five years, including during periods of high inflation and economic strain, we have invested approximately $1 billion into the Ghanaian economy,” he said.

“Telecommunications is not an industry where you build quickly and walk away. Continuous investment in infrastructure, technology, and our people is critical.”

The CEO emphasized that MTN Ghana’s workforce is a cornerstone of its strategy.

Network expansion and quality

Physical infrastructure will also be a major priority in 2026. Mr. Blewett explained that the network must continue to grow and adapt to changing population densities and digital usage patterns. “Communities are spreading further, new residential zones are emerging, and digital demand is rising. We need to roll out new sites, upgrade existing infrastructure, and improve coverage in both urban centres and underserved rural areas.”

Network quality, he said, is not just a technical concern but also a measure of MTN’s commitment to customers.

“Every improvement we make translates into better access to services that matter — from financial transactions to education and healthcare information.”

Collaborating for a digital Ghana

Beyond infrastructure and innovation, Mr. Blewett stressed the importance of collaboration.

“We are here to partner — with all stakeholders, and communities — toward a shared goal: making Ghana a leader in the digital era.”

He noted that while challenges are inevitable, MTN Ghana’s motivated team, clear strategy, and a stable macroeconomic environment provide confidence in the company’s ability to continue investing, innovating, and driving digital transformation.

Looking forward

In closing, Mr. Blewett said that MTN Ghana’s message is simple: progress comes from sustained effort, innovation, and commitment to the customer.

“We will continue to strengthen our network, deepen digital services, support small businesses, and innovate. Our goal is to ensure that MTN Ghana not only remains a leader in telecommunications but also contributes meaningfully to Ghana’s digital future.”

MTN Ghana has donated office equipment to the Ministry of Climate Change and Sustainability to support the Ministry’s operational setup and strengthen collaboration on national climate action.

Presenting the items, the Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer of MTN Ghana, Ms. Adwoa Wiafe, said sustainability remained central to the company’s long-term strategy. She noted that as a leading international company operating in Ghana, MTN was committed to ensuring that its growth aligned with environmental responsibility and national development goals.

“We believe sustainability must be at the heart of business operations. For us, it is about ensuring long-term growth while contributing meaningfully to climate resilience and environmental protection,” she said.

Ms. Wiafe highlighted some of MTN’s recent sustainability initiatives, including the introduction of electric vehicles and biodegradable SIMs within its operations, aimed at reducing environmental impact. She also referenced the company’s Sustainability Week, which coincided with global climate discussions , and commended the Ministry for its participation and support.

She explained that the donation followed earlier engagements with the Ministry to understand its immediate needs as a newly established office. The items presented included computers, projectors and screens to aid administrative and technical work.

Receiving the donation, the Minister for Climate Change and Sustainability, Hon. Issifu Seidu, expressed gratitude to MTN Ghana and described the gesture as a demonstration of corporate leadership.

He revealed that the Ministry had spent its initial months establishing its institutional framework, including the formation of a Technical Working Committee made up of representatives from various ministries. The committee meets monthly to coordinate sectoral climate initiatives and develop a unified national climate action platform.

Hon. Seidu used the occasion to formally invite MTN Ghana to nominate a representative to join the Technical Working Committee, emphasising the importance of private sector participation in shaping national climate policy.

“We cannot tackle climate change in isolation. It affects every sector of the economy. Collaboration with the private sector is crucial to ensuring policy coherence, monitoring and evaluation, and building a strong national conversation around climate action,” he stated.

The minister further outlined plans to establish climate and sustainability units across ministries, promote climate-focused engagement at the district assembly level through a bottom-up approach, and create a Climate and Sustainability Hub to serve as a national centre of excellence for research, coordination and capacity building.

He also disclosed plans to organise a National Climate Business Forum to deepen private sector involvement in adaptation and sustainability initiatives.

The Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications has signalled that Ghana’s tough telecom quality standards must be matched with policy support, warning that compliance cannot be divorced from commercial realities in a capital-intensive industry.

According to the Chamber, while operators are committed to delivering better network performance, the cost of meeting stricter obligations in an already challenging operating environment raises difficult questions about sustainability and long-term investment returns.

This follows an announcement by the regulator, the National Communications Authority, to enforce a 1% call drop cap, higher data speed thresholds, and expanded coverage requirements under revised Quality of Service benchmarks that take immediate effect.

Speaking to Citi Business News, Chief Executive of the Chamber, Sylvia Owusu-Ankomah, made clear the industry is not resisting reform but is seeking balance.

“So as a chamber, we welcome the directives from the National Communications Authority. The objective to ensure that Ghanaians have reliable and high-quality telecom services is one that we embrace,” she said.

But she cautioned that “it’s really counterintuitive if the approach of the NCA is to just have new KPIs or measures, which are licensed conditions for our members to meet,” without addressing structural bottlenecks.

The sector, she stressed, operates in a “high capex environment,” and investments must generate returns. “When we have those investments made, we need to ensure that they are being utilised to make a reasonable return on investments for our shareholders.”

Beyond regulatory metrics, operators are grappling with rising infrastructure risks. “Cumulatively since 2025 alone… we spend over 90 million cedis just on repairs,” she disclosed, citing more than 5,000 fibre cuts in a single year.

“You cannot then penalise a network operator when they build the infrastructure, and yet that same infrastructure has been sliced up.”

Owusu-Ankomah also pointed to a 62% data usage gap despite 95% network coverage, questioning whether blanket rollout obligations — particularly in commercially unviable areas — should instead be supported through Ghana’s universal access framework.

“We need to look at all these things within the policy framework that Ghana has,” she argued.

For the industry, the message is clear: higher standards are welcome — but without coordinated policy action, the cost of compliance could reshape the economics of Ghana’s telecom market.

The MTN Foundation and the Bank of Industry have signed a memorandum of understanding to establish a N1bn Matching Fund to expand access to finance and capacity building for women-led micro enterprises across the country.

The institutions said that the fund, under the Y’ellopreneur 3.0 programme, would operate as a pilot to reach women running viable businesses who remain excluded from formal credit due to collateral and documentation requirements.

Speaking at the signing ceremony in Lagos, the Executive Director of MTN Foundation, Odunayo Sanya, said that the renewed partnership builds on earlier pilot phases that helped both institutions refine their approach and scale impact in women-led businesses.

Sanya said the new phase seeks to deliver faster and more measurable outcomes for women-owned enterprises. She explained that the foundation aims to build capacity for 30,000 female-led businesses by 2030, up from nearly 6,000 reached so far, while unlocking access to capital for 10,000 women-owned enterprises through the renewed partnership with BOI.

“This partnership will deepen support for women entrepreneurs, improve business survival rates, and attract additional partners to scale funding for the segment,” Sanya stated.

She added that the initiative would combine training, mentorship, and financing and serve as a blueprint for broader public–private cooperation in unlocking new pools of capital for enterprise development and inclusive growth in Nigeria.

In his speech, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of BOI, Dr Olasupo Olusi, stated that the initiative goes beyond the continuation of an existing collaboration and targets women at the base of the economic pyramid.

Olusi explained that the intervention focuses on women who operate viable businesses but remain excluded from structured finance.

“Across Nigeria, women sustain a large share of micro-businesses in the markets and communities, while processing and providing services that support household income and local economic activity,” he said.

According to Olusi, despite their contributions, many women cannot access affordable capital because traditional lending models demand documentation, collateral, and financial histories that do not reflect how their businesses operate.

He noted that the partnership aims to bridge that financing gap through a model tailored to women entrepreneurs who need funding the most.

“This partnership is designed to specifically bridge that gap. The programme is structured as a pilot to test, learn and refine the model that works for women entrepreneurs who need financing the most, while building a framework that can be sustainably expanded over time,” he said.

Olusi explained that beyond credit provision, the programme embeds capacity building, business development support, and mentorship. He disclosed that the partners plan to train about 1,000 women entrepreneurs in record-keeping, growth management, and competitiveness.

He stressed that an expanding opportunity at the microenterprise level strengthens productivity, stabilises income, and contributes to broader economic resilience.

“BOI remains committed to working closely with MTN Foundation and all stakeholders to ensure the effective implementation of this programme,” he stated.

“Our focus will be on transparency, on sustainability and measuring outcomes so the programme delivers real value and provides a model that can be replicated under other programmes.”
