300 AirtelTigo Staff Secure Jobs as Telecel Ghana Migration Progresses: Government Assures Stability
In a significant development for Ghana’s telecommunications sector, the Minister of Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, has announced that approximately 300 permanent employees of AirtelTigo (AT Ghana) will retain their positions following the upcoming integration with Telecel Ghana. This assurance comes as the government prioritizes job security amidst a crucial industry restructuring aimed at fortifying market competitiveness and addressing financial challenges.
Government’s Strategic Move Ensures Job Security and Telecom Sector Growth
The Minister, speaking at a press briefing on September 5, 2025, articulated the government’s strategic rationale behind the restructuring of AT Ghana, formerly known as AirtelTigo, alongside Telecel Ghana. This move is deemed a necessary intervention to counteract escalating losses experienced by AT Ghana and to cultivate a more robust and competitive landscape within the country’s telecom industry. Minister George unequivocally stated the government’s steadfast commitment to safeguarding workers’ livelihoods and maintaining stability throughout this ongoing transitional period. He emphasized his direct engagement with the staff, reiterating a firm promise: “The government will ensure that the approximately 300 permanent staff of AT retain their employment. I repeat, they will retain their employment. There will be no job losses.” This strong declaration underscores a pro-worker stance during a critical phase of digital evolution in Ghana. The integration is expected to create a more resilient telecommunications entity, capable of driving innovation and delivering enhanced services to the Ghanaian populace, all while prioritizing the human capital involved in its operations.
This commitment to employee retention provides much-needed reassurance to the affected staff and signals the government’s proactive approach to managing the socio-economic impacts of significant corporate transitions. The Telecel Ghana migration, with its guaranteed job security for AirtelTigo staff, marks a pivotal moment for Ghana’s digital economy, aiming for stability and growth in a dynamically evolving sector.
