The Chief Executive Officer of Telecel Ghana has clarified that the company has not taken over the operations of AT Ghana, stressing that its role is limited to providing technical network support.
Speaking on the matter, the Telecel CEO explained that recent reports and public discussions suggesting that Telecel had assumed control of AT Ghana’s operations were inaccurate. According to the CEO, the arrangement between the two telecommunications firms is strictly a support agreement aimed at maintaining network stability and improving service delivery for customers.
The clarification follows speculation within the telecommunications industry and among subscribers after Telecel began providing certain network services to AT Ghana. Some customers had interpreted the development to mean that Telecel had acquired or fully taken over the operations of the company.
However, the Telecel CEO stated that the collaboration is intended to ensure that AT Ghana’s customers continue to enjoy reliable connectivity while the company works on strengthening its network infrastructure.
“We have not taken over AT. Our role is simply to provide network support to help maintain service quality for their subscribers,” the CEO said.
The CEO added that such technical support arrangements are not unusual in the telecommunications sector, where operators sometimes collaborate to improve service coverage and operational efficiency.
Industry observers say the partnership could help address some of the network challenges faced by AT Ghana while ensuring minimal disruption to its customer base.
Telecel Ghana, formerly known as Vodafone Ghana, has been expanding its presence in Ghana’s telecommunications sector following its rebranding and strategic investments aimed at improving service delivery.
Meanwhile, customers of AT Ghana have been assured that their services will continue to operate normally, with the technical support arrangement expected to enhance network reliability rather than alter the ownership or operational structure of the company.
