The Chief Executive Officer of MTN Ghana, Stephen Blewett, has reaffirmed the company’s commitment to increasing its investments in Ghana, citing confidence in the country’s economic potential and digital transformation agenda.
Speaking at the 9th edition of the Ghana CEO Summit in Accra, Mr. Blewett underscored the critical role of digital infrastructure in driving innovation, productivity, and inclusive economic growth.
“The role of digital infrastructure as a backbone for economic development is foundational in the 21st century. Countries that invest in robust digital infrastructure are better positioned to unlock innovation, drive entrepreneurship, expand market access and economic inclusion, attract investment, improve governance, public service delivery, and boost productivity and competitiveness across various sectors,” he stated.
Mr. Blewett revealed that MTN Ghana has fulfilled its earlier pledge to invest $1.0 billion in the country, with $240 million of that investment made in 2025 alone.
“In 2021, we committed as MTN to invest $1.0 billion in our network and operations in Ghana. By the end of this year, 2025, we will have invested $240 million, and I’m pleased to say we’ve achieved that. We are committed to Ghana because we believe in its future, in its potential, in the government’s reset agenda,” he added.
He concluded with a challenge to other corporate leaders.
“My question to you, my colleagues from other companies, is: do you believe?”
The Ghana CEO Summit, now in its ninth edition, serves as a high-level platform for dialogue between private and public sector leaders. This year’s event was held under the theme, “Leading Ghana’s Economic Reset: Transforming Business and Governance for a Sustainable, Futuristic Economy.”
The summit focused on transformational leadership, digital innovation, sustainability, and governance reforms essential to Ghana’s economic revival.
