Vodafone Group Plc has completed the transfer of its 70% majority shares in Vodafone Ghana (Ghana Telecommunications Company Limited – GTCL) to the Telecel Group after successfully obtaining all the necessary regulatory approvals, including the agreement of the Government of Ghana as a minority shareholder. This is the most recent major change for the Ghanaian telecommunications company since 2008, when Vodafone Group Plc purchased a controlling interest in GTCL and established Vodafone Ghana.
Telecel is an Africa-focused telecommunications company with a brand founded in 1986, operating primarily in Africa and converging telecommunications with fintech, e-commerce, and tech startups. The completion of the agreement to acquire Vodafone Ghana by Telecel Group presents an opportunity for further innovation and the continued delivery of unparalleled services to Ghanaians.
Operations of Vodafone Ghana and its three subsidiaries, National Communication Backbone
Company Limited, Vodafone Ghana Mobile Financial Services Limited (Vodafone Cash) and the
Vodafone Ghana Foundation, will continue uninterrupted while embracing exciting
new possibilities. Vodafone Ghana assures its customers and stakeholders of their unwavering commitment to continuity across all services and products.
