Gov’t of Ghana Launches 6GB for GHS10 Independence Day Data Promotion – ABN
The government has secured a special Independence Day data bundle deal with Ghana‘s three major telecom providers, MTN Ghana, Telecel Ghana, and AT Ghana—offering 6GB of data for just GHS10. This marks a significant upgrade from the usual 1GB or 3GB holiday bundles available 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.
CNIR Urges Middle Class and Youth to Step Up for a Brighter Future at Ghana at 68
As Ghana celebrates its 68th independence anniversary, the Center for National Interest and Research (CNIR) has called on middle class citizens and young people to take charge and rise for a better future.
Sixty-eight years after gaining independence, Ghana is still grappling with the effects of extreme partisan politics, characterized by divisiveness, unbridled borrowing, and debilitating debt, hence, the CNIR is calling on Ghanaians to reflect on the state of the nation and the true meaning of freedom.
Dr. Dzabaku Kudiabor Ocansey, Executive Director of CNIR , emphasized that the time has come for the youth, middle-class citizens, and young adults to rise up and take charge of building a better future for Ghana.
“We need a new generation of leaders who are solution-oriented, innovative, and committed to the well-being of all Ghanaians,” he said.
He said as we celebrate 68 years of independence, we must confront the harsh reality that our extreme partisan politics is undermining our freedom and threatening our very existence as a nation.
Dr. Ocansey called for a shift in focus from individualism and extreme partisan political affiliations to the national interest, saying “we must prioritize the needs of Ghana above our individual interests and party affiliations,” he said.
“We need a hybrid democratic system that incorporates solution-oriented approaches and cognitive restructuring, one that prioritizes the needs of all Ghanaians, regardless of their socio-economic background or political affiliation,” he added.
The statement charged all Ghanaians to join in a national conversation on the state of our freedom and the future of our nation. “Let us work together to build a brighter future for Ghana, starting today,” it said.
