The Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovations is working to reduce connectivity costs by the end of the year.
The Minister, Samuel Nartey George, stated that a committee, including telecom companies and the National Communications Authority, developed a roadmap for data price reduction.
"Based on that roadmap, I made the Director-General of the NCA and the regulator engage with stakeholders on what we could do in the immediate, medium term, and the long term.
“So to citizens of this country, my promise is that by the end of this year, we will see data prices drop, and I remain committed to it. We will deliver on that. I trust the process,” he added.
“I will not give directives that will affect the industry. What I will do is to consult with industry and stakeholders and make decisions that protect investments in the country.
“I will also ensure that customers have the best quality of service and at prices they can afford,” he added.
