Government Launches 6GB for GHS10 Independence Day Data Promotion according to Accra Street Journal—The government has partnered with Ghana’s three major telecom providers, MTN Ghana, Telecel Ghana, and AT Ghana, to offer a special Independence Day data bundle. For just GHS10, users can get 6GB of data, a significant improvement compared to the usual 1GB or 3GB holiday bundles at the same price.

Announcing the offer on his Facebook page, the Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Sam George, stated, “Under the instructions of H.E. John Dramani Mahama, we have reached a special Independence Day bundle package on all three networks in the country.”

He further highlighted the government’s vision for an interconnected nation, saying, “This highlights our commitment as a government to build the enablers for a truly digitalized Ghana that offers the vast opportunity of the interconnected world to Ghanaians right in the comfort of their homes.”

Many internet users have welcomed the initiative, describing it as a timely intervention in reducing the cost of data. This move aligns with broader efforts to bridge the digital divide and enhance digital inclusion in the country.

Beyond the Independence Day package, the minister assured Ghanaians of more efforts to lower data costs in the long term. “Tomorrow, the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations will outline short, medium and long-term plans towards a sustained reduction in data prices,” he revealed.
