Manasseh drops bombshell on company awarded 5G contract

Investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni has raised concerns about the 5G network contract awarded to Next Gen Infraco Ltd. by the Communications Ministry.

Awuni alleges the company was established just a week before President Akufo-Addo's approval of the deal, questioning its track record and capacity.

He also criticized the sole-sourcing method used, arguing that the lack of competitive bidding undermines transparency and fairness.

The contract, involving a consortium of seven partners, aims to launch 5G services across Ghana within six months, with future expansion plans for Africa.
