The Chief Executive Officer of MTN Ghana, Stephen Blewett, has assured that discussions with the Minister of Communications and Digitalisation are progressing toward addressing the high cost of data in Ghana.

According to him, some components of data pricing are structural and can only be addressed through legislation.

In the interim, he noted that MTN is working to provide some relief to consumers by offering additional value on public holidays.

Speaking to GhanaWeb Business on the sidelines of the 9th Ghana CEO Summit on May 26, 2025, Blewett also highlighted that Ghana’s business climate remains conducive for investment.

“In 2021, we committed as MTN to invest $1 billion in our network. By the end of 2025, we will have invested $240 million. I’m pleased to say we’ve achieved that. We made a $1 billion commitment, and we have delivered. We will continue to invest in Ghana because we believe in the future of this country,” he stated.

The MTN CEO expressed confidence in the government’s ability to steer the economy toward recovery.

“We believe there is potential. We believe in what the government is doing. We believe in the reset,” he added.
