The ‘Special Independence Day Bundle’ package, according to the minister who announced in an official statement across social media, was authorized by President John Dramani Mahama.

Tomorrow, the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations would outline short, medium and long term plans towards a sustained reduction in data prices In service to God and Country. 🦁🇬🇭.” he wrote.
