The Minister of Communications and Digitalization, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has urged Ghanaian mobile network users to hold their service providers accountable for failing to launch the 5G network by 31 December this year.
She emphasized the importance of reporting any providers who do not meet the deadline.
According to Owusu-Ekuful, the introduction of 5G in Ghana is a significant milestone for the country’s telecommunications industry, with the potential to drive growth in key sectors such as banking, agriculture, and more.
She highlighted that 5G’s advanced capabilities will enhance service delivery and accelerate development across various industries.
Speaking at the 5G network launch on November 1 2024, she stated: “We embrace the fifth generation, 5G, of communication networks. The potential of 5G extends beyond mere development; it is a revolutionary leap forward that promises to redefine connectivity, productivity, and the overall quality of life.”
Ursula Owusu-Ekuful also announced that Accra, Kumasi, and Takoradi will immediately begin experiencing 5G services as providers launch the network, with other regions expected to follow by the end of 2024.
“Hold your network provider accountable because they must make this service available to you,”.
PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE
Nobody has forced you to launch 5G
You go and launch and commission it and then set deadlines and avoid any form of responsibility for your actions but tell Consumers to call out their network providers if by December there’s no 5G. 😆 pic.twitter.com/gvbWeIEzTu— HelicopterMan (@LaryeaDerek) December 27, 2024
