In a significant move to boost Ghana’s digital landscape, Minister of Communications, Sam Nartey Dzata George, led a team to engage with MTN’s top executives at the Mobile World Congress 2025 in Barcelona. The meeting with Group CEO Ralph Mupita and Group SVP Eben Asante focused on collaborative efforts to enhance the quality of service and customer experience in Ghana.
A major highlight of the meeting was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Ministry and MTN Ghana. This partnership aims to implement the ambitious One Million Coders Programme (OMCP), a flagship initiative of President John Dramani Mahama. The program seeks to train one million Ghanaians in digital skills, bridging the gap between government and private sector players ¹ ².
The OMCP is part of Mahama’s 120-day social contract, with the official launch slated to take place in the coming days. This initiative is expected to have a profound impact on Ghana’s digital economy, empowering citizens with the skills needed to thrive in an increasingly digital world. As Minister Sam Dzata George aptly puts it, this partnership is truly “in service to God and Country.”
