The CEO of MTN Ghana, Stephen Blewett, has urged for stronger policy interventions to protect the country’s telecommunications infrastructure, particularly against persistent fibre cuts that disrupt services and hinder network quality.
Speaking at a stakeholder engagement event in Accra dubbed “Time with MTN CEO Stephen Blewett”—held to mark his one-year anniversary—he emphasized the importance of fibre integrity to ensure reliable connectivity and customer satisfaction.
Mr. Blewett appealed to individuals to refrain from damaging fibre optic cables, describing them as a vital national asset. “People need to stop cutting fibre. I beg you—please stop cutting our fibre,” he said. He also stressed the need for assertive measures against such destructive actions, which he said impact the entire country.
He revealed that MTN Ghana invests over $200 million annually—over $1 billion in the past five years—to improve its network infrastructure. He noted the company’s plans to leverage emerging technologies like AI to enhance customer experience and service delivery.
Mr. Blewett reaffirmed his commitment to building a legacy of innovation, excellence, and continuous improvement in customer experience and network quality.
