The Minister of Communication and Digital Technology and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, says the government will announce a decision on the future of AirtelTigo within the next 30 days.

Speaking during the Government Accountability Series on August 1, 2025, he stated that the Ministry of Communications and Digital Innovation is working with the Attorney General’s Department to assess the company’s financial position and determine the best course of action.

“We are working closely with the Attorney General’s Department to evaluate the financial viability of AirtelTigo, and we are currently in negotiations with other parties regarding the way forward,” he said.

“I’m sure that within the next 30 days, we will make a national announcement on what will happen with AirtelTigo,” he added.

The decision will provide clarity on how the government intends to engage with private sector players involved in the delivery of essential national services.

In March 2025, Sam George labeled those responsible for the onerous AirtelTigo deal as “enemies of the state,” condemning the near‑symbolic $1 sale amidst mounting debts exceeding GH¢3.5 billion.
