Answering the query, Ursula Owusu said categorically that the federal government of Ghana has no plans to promote its 30% shareholding in Ghana Telecommunications Company Limited.
She added that Vodafone Ghana transferred its 70% stake within the firm to the Telecel Group in February 2023.
In February of this 12 months, Vodafone Group Plc (Vodafone) accomplished the sale of its 70% shareholding in Vodafone Ghana (GTCL) to Telecel Group.
Margherita Della Valle, Chief Executive of Vodafone, mentioned the sale of Vodafone Ghana to Telecel Group is an additional step in simplifying Vodafone’s African portfolio. Since coming into the market in 2008, Vodafone has helped to develop Ghana’s crucial community infrastructure, supporting clients, companies, and communities.
The transaction has obtained regulatory approval and settlement from the Government of Ghana, which can retain its 30% minority shareholding in GTCL.
