MTN GHANA CEO STEPHEN BLEWETT SAYS ITS “FIBRE TO THE HOME” SERVICE WILL EXPAND INTERNET ACCESS IN HOMES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
May 20, 2025 Stephen Blewett, the Chief Executive Officer of MTN Ghana, says MTN’s Fiber to the Home (FTTH) services, will expand internet access to households across major communities in the country for various purposes.
In his keynote address during a media and stakeholder forum held in the northern regional capital Tamale, Mr. Blewett emphasized that the FTTH solution was developed in response to the growing reliance of Ghanaian homes on internet connectivity. He said, “We have tailored our FTTH solutions to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Our FTTH service offers high-speed internet connectivity, reliable and stable connections, low latency for seamless online experiences, and flexible plans to suit various needs and budgets.” He added, “This initiative aligns with our overarching digital agenda aimed at bridging the digital divide and empowering individuals, businesses, and communities across Ghana.”
Mr. Blewett also highlighted that network expansion and capital investment are critical to MTN’s business growth and customer experience. He stressed the importance of expanding MTN’s digital infrastructure to enhance connectivity and drive economic growth.
MTN is enhancing its 4G capacity to ensure future-proof connectivity by upgrading its infrastructure and investing in the foundation of digital communication. In 2025, approximately 130 kilometers of fiber infrastructure will be relocated to improve network resilience and significantly expand capacity. This initiative will pave the way for next-generation services and applications that will empower individuals and businesses nationwide.
During his visit to the Northern region of Ghana, MTN CEO Stephen Blewett engaged with several stakeholder groups. He paid a courtesy call on the Northern Regional Minister, Hon. Ali Adolf John, and held discussions with media representatives from the Upper East, North East, Savannah, and Northern regions. Additionally, the CEO met with staff, toured the Tamale market, and engaged in conversations with the company’s trade partners. The CEO was accompanied by some of the company’s executives and other management team members.
MTN organizes annual regional outreach programs to gather feedback on its operations and provide updates on product and service innovations.
