2 w. ago Elephant in the room: Why Ghana missed the June deadline for 5G rollout

On November 1, 2024, a grand ceremony at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel marked what was billed as the launch of Ghana’s first shared 4G/5G network under an exclusive 10-year licence awarded to the Next Generation Infrastructure Company (NGIC). But contrary to public perception, this was merely ceremonial—not an operational launch. Seven months later, Ghana still has no live public 5G network. At the time, the then Minister for Communications and Digitalisation, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, boldly assured Ghanaians that all three telcos—MTN, Telecel, and AT Ghana—would be offering 5G services by December 2024. “The network is ready,” she said. Yet, not a single live 5G service has gone public. The timeline has since shifted—from December 2024 to January 2025, then to May, and most recently, to June 2025.
