The government has secured a special Independence Day data bundle package across all three major telecom networks in Ghana, following the directive of President John Dramani Mahama.
Minister for Communication, Digital Technology & Innovation, Sam George, announced the initiative in a post on X, stating that MTN Ghana, Telecel Ghana, and AT Ghana have agreed to offer a GHC10 bundle that provides 6GB of data significantly higher than the usual 1GB or the 3GB offered on holidays at the same price.
“The people demanded. H.E. @JDMahama instructed. We have delivered,” the minister wrote, emphasizing the government’s commitment to making digital services more accessible.
He described the move as the first in a series of policy and regulatory actions aimed at ensuring better data offerings and improved service quality in the long term.
“This highlights our commitment as a government to build the enablers for a truly digitalized Ghana that offers the vast opportunity of the interconnected world to Ghanaians right in the comfort of their homes,” he stated.
The Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology & Innovation is expected to announce further short, medium, and long-term measures to achieve a sustained reduction in data prices.
