Data Pricing and Telecommunication Policies

As the Minister for Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovation, Sam George has been vocal about data pricing in Ghana’s telecommunication sector.

His intervention aims to ease concerns about rising costs while ensuring affordability for consumers.

Additionally, Sam George clarified that he cannot directly influence data price reductions, as the pricing structure is largely determined by telecom operators. However, he emphasized the government’s commitment to improving digital accessibility nationwide.

The foundation recently commissioned a classroom block in Afienya, aimed at enhancing educational infrastructure for underprivileged students.
