A prominent African-focused telecommunications provider, Telecel Ghana, has officially launched its branch in Kumasi, the Ashanti Regional capital.

The official launch took place on Thursday, 25th April 2024.

Telecel Group, which operates in over 20 countries, entered the Ghanaian market in February 2023 by acquiring a 70% majority stake in Ghana Telecommunication Company Limited (GTCL).

Following the acquisition, Telecel rebranded Vodafone Ghana within a year and has significantly expanded its network infrastructure throughout the country.

During the official launch in Kumasi, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Telecel, Engineer Patricia Obo-Nai, emphasised that the telecommunications network aims to address and improve the country’s network issues.

“Telecel is here to strengthen and stabilise network issues in Ghana. Therefore, as Telecel has invested in Ghana as a telecommunication company, all network problems are going to be resolved,” Engineer Obo-Nai stated.

“We’re going to expand our coverage and also improve upon our services in areas we were not available.

“The people of Ghana have 30% share in Telecel and, therefore, I’ll encourage all Ghanaians to participate in our company,” she added.

The CEO said Telecel would continue to offer good services to its consumers in the country.

Speaking about mobile money business, she stressed that Telecel is a reliable and secure option for all customers.

The company has implemented stringent measures to combat mobile money fraud, ensuring the safety of all transactions.

Mr. Samuel Pyne, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly, expressed his appreciation for Telecel’s presence in Greater Kumasi and in the Ashanti Region in general.

However, he urged the company’s executives to enhance their services in Kumasi.

He stressed the importance of making their rates more affordable to encourage greater usage of their telecommunications network in the region.
