The Meridian Plus Company Limited has moved to reassert its role as a key driver of digital transformation in Ghana following its active participation in the 3i Africa Summit 2026.

When the continent’s leading digital experts and organisations converged in Accra on May 6, 2026, Meridian Plus Company Limited made a strong representation, contributing meaningfully to conversations on advancing digital growth across Africa.

Representing the company were Chief Executive Officer Seth Nana Amoako and Information Technology Manager Dorcas Ngumah, who participated in various events at the summit.

At the summit, the urgent need for Africa to accelerate the development of its digital infrastructure and digitally transform its economy became evident and Mr. Seth Amoako made cogent remarks, urging governments to create an enabling environment for the rapid growth of the digital economy.

He noted that Ghana has made significant progress in its digital transformation agenda and that the blueprint established by the country could serve as a model for the rest of the continent.

Amoako expressed excitement that Ghana’s digital transformation drive has been anchored on financial inclusivity and that the model should be replicated across Africa.

“Africa is charting a path towards a digital economy, and we at Meridian Plus are proud to be part of this journey,” he said. “Conferences like this are important because they provide a platform for us to engage with the leading minds driving this transformation.

“I believe Ghana has performed commendably in pushing the digital economy agenda and has set examples that ought to be replicated across the continent.”

Amoako also emphasised the need for Africa to derive maximum value from digital transformation, urging African leaders to prioritise the development of robust digital infrastructure.

He asserted that local ownership of digital infrastructure is essential for the continent to enjoy significant benefits from the global digital shift.

In his keynote address on the opening day of the summit, the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Johnson Pandit Asiama, emphasised the growing role of digital finance in building a resilient fintech ecosystem.

The Governor noted that African fintech institutions must move beyond merely expanding access to delivering real value and measurable impact.

While acknowledging that about 49 per cent of adults in sub-Saharan Africa now have digital financial accounts, he stressed that the focus should shift from mere access to scalability, efficiency, and meaningful use of financial services.

Dr Asiama added that the next phase of digital finance would extend beyond basic payments to include digital credit, embedded finance, supply chain finance, and cross-border services, with particular attention to women, MSMEs, and the informal sector.
