Ghana is poised to join the 5G network in September this year, announced Minister of Communications and Digitalization Ursula Owusu-Ekuful amidst ongoing internet service inconsistencies in West Africa.
The National Communications Authority (NCA) revealed in a press release that Ghanaians facing disruptions in their data services may need to wait another five weeks due to a faulty undersea cable.
The NCA’s announcement follows a meeting with subsea cable landing service providers ACE, MainOne, SAT-3, and WACS, held after widespread data service outages impacted several African countries including Ghana, South Africa, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Benin, and Burkina Faso.
Minister Ursula Owusu-Ekuful affirmed during an interview on Peace FM, “We will be using 5G in September, I can guarantee that.”
