The senior leadership of telecommunications multinational Telecel Group has paid a courtesy call on President John Dramani Mahama to reaffirm its long-term commitment to investing in Ghana's digital infrastructure and supporting national development.
The delegation, led by Telecel Group Board Chair Nicolas Bourg, Group Chief Executive Moh Damush, and Telecel Ghana CEO Ing. Patricia Obo-Nai, was accompanied by the Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, HSam Nartey George. The visit provided an opportunity to update the President on Telecel's business and investment plans in Ghana's telecommunications sector.
"We acknowledge and appreciate the conducive business environment in Ghana, made possible by strategic government policies. For Telecel, 2026 is a year of significant network expansion as we invest to improve connectivity and deliver better services to customers across the country," said Mr. Damush.
The telecom operator said its investments will extend beyond network infrastructure to include digital education, healthcare initiatives, and broader efforts to strengthen Ghana's digital economy.
Telecel highlighted its partnership with government on several national priorities, including the One Million Coders Programme, where the company is supporting the training of 100,000 young people at a total cost of five million US dollars over the next four years.
Additionally, Telecel has partnered with the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (Mahama Cares) to expand cervical cancer screening and treatment across three national hospitals by donating advanced screening equipment and consumables to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Tamale Teaching Hospital, and Sefwi Wiawso Government Hospital.
President Mahama reaffirmed his administration's commitment to maintaining a stable macro-economic environment that encourages private investment and business growth, noting that government remains focused on creating the enabling conditions for businesses to expand and contribute to national development.
