A delegation from Afriwave Telecom, led by CEO Francis Poku, met with Minister of Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, to discuss critical issues affecting the telecommunications sector. The meeting aimed to explore areas of partnership and address key industry concerns, including tariff review, license renewal processes, and financial considerations.
During the meeting, the Afriwave team commended the Minister for his proactive approach since assuming office and pledged their support for his initiatives. Minister George reiterated his commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment while ensuring consumer benefits, emphasizing his dedication to reducing data prices for Ghanaian consumers.
As a key player in Ghana’s telecommunications industry, Afriwave Telecom has been providing world-class interconnect clearing house, data centre, and value-added network services since 1998. The company was awarded Ghana’s first Interconnect Clearing House license by the National Communications Authority in 2015, enabling it to provide a common mechanism for monitoring, routing, billing, and settlement of local and international interconnect traffic.
This meeting reflects the ongoing dialogue between the government and industry stakeholders as the sector continues to evolve in response to digital transformation priorities.
