Sam George, Minister of Communications Digitalisation, and Innovation
Ghanaians are to pay relatively cheaper rates for data as the country celebrates 68 years of independence.
The Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, announced that his outfit had reached an agreement with telecommunication operators to offer Independence Day bundles to Ghanaians.
He said a GH¢10 bundle would get 6GB worth of data instead of the usual 1GB offered daily.
He announced on his X page on March 6, 2025.
Sam George wrote: “Under the instructions of H.E. @JDMahama, we have reached a special Independence Day bundle package on all three networks in the Country. All three telecom companies @MTNGhana, @TelecelGhana and @theatghana – have agreed to offer a GH¢10 bundle which would offer 6GB of data instead of the usual 1GB regular offering or 3GB offerings on holidays for the same price.”
According to the minister, this is part of the government’s agenda of ensuring digital inclusion in Ghana.
“This highlights our commitment as a government to build the enablers for a truly digitalized Ghana that offers the vast opportunity of the interconnected world to Ghanaians right in the comfort of their homes. Tomorrow, the @mocghana would outline short-, medium- and long-term plans towards a sustained reduction in data prices. In service to God and Country,” he added.
For MTN users, dial 138 and select the special offer and *700# on Telecel to enjoy the offer.
