Ghana’s National Communications Authority (NCA) and Liberian telecom authorities have begun discussions for a free-roaming arrangement to be implemented this year.
Officials from the Liberia Telecommunications Authority were in Ghana this week to fine-tune a preliminary agreement that will see both countries establish roaming services to enhance the telecommunications landscape.
In February, Ghana’s Minister of Communications and Digitalisation, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, announced plans to establish bilateral ECOWAS roaming service with Togo, Benin, and the Gambia, following Ghana’s successful implementation of a similar pact with Côte d’Ivoire in 2023.
