MTN Ghana, a subsidiary of MTN Group Limited, is a telecommunications company operating in Ghana. The company was launched as part of MTN Group's expansion across Africa and the Middle East. The parent company, MTN Group Limited, was originally founded in 1994 as M-Cell in South Africa, with the Ghanaian branch established later as part of the group's international growth strategy. In 2018, MTN Ghana publicly listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange through an initial public offering (IPO). This move, which saw 35% of the company's equity offered to qualifying applicants, was part of an agreement with Ghana's National Communications Authority for the deployment of 4G LTE mobile services in the country. As of the latest update, the CEO of MTN Ghana is Mr. Selorm Adadevoh. The company continues to be a key player in the telecommunications sector in Ghana, offering a range of services to its customers.
