More About Airtel Tigo Merger in Ghana.

On March 3, 2017, Millicom International Cellular S.A. (“Millicom”) and Bharti Airtel Limited (“Airtel”), announced their intention to merge their operations in Ghana. This was subsequently approved by the regulator, the National Communications Authority on October 2^nd, 2017. 

As per the shareholder’s agreement, Millicom and Airtel have equal ownership and governance rights in the combined entity which has now been branded as AirtelTigo. AirtelTigo is the second largest Mobile Network Operator in Ghana with a combined customer base of approximately 10 million and 25 percent market share. 

By integrating the two networks, the combined business is expected to provide Ghanaian customers with a major boost in both rural and urban network coverage – in turn translating into better voice quality, high-speed data services and reinforced network stability and resilience. 

With the combined fibre footprint and increased data centres, enterprise customers including both, large corporations and SMEs, would have access to a diverse portfolio of world-class solutions. Mobile Financial Services is also expected to be greatly enhanced with combined agent networks and platforms.

We pray that their merger will be a major Success to the telecommunication industry in Ghana.
