MTN Ghana says it has noted media reports concerning a decision by the National Communications Authority (NCA) to implement specific policies to ensure a level-playing field for all network operators within the telecommunications industry.

In a press release by the CEO of the company, Selorm Adedevoh said "MTN Ghana respects the NCA’s purview to regulate the telecommunication sector in Ghana based on legislation and best practices.

"However, MTN Ghana has not yet received the formal notification from the regulator and awaits this to assess the details."

He said until the company is officially communicated to, it will refrain from making any public statements or comments on the matter.

Mr Adadevoh reassured their shareholders and customers that MTN Ghana's commitment to the delivery of a bold new digital world in Ghana remains intact "and they can count on our continued investment in infrastructure and innovative products and services."

He reiterated that "MTN Ghana is focused on providing the enabling technology to support Ghana’s digital economy and drive productivity, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic."

The MTN Ghana CEO added that the company "is a responsible market leader in a highly competitive market.

"We remain an ethical business committed to its regulatory obligations while striving to deliver on its belief that everyone deserves the benefits of a modern connected life."
