Accra, Aug. 16, GNA – MTN Ghana has won six awards at the 2026 National Project Management Conference (NPMC) and Project Management Excellence Awards (PMEA), organised by the Project Management Institute (PMI) Ghana Chapter.
The awards recognised MTN Ghana’s work in project delivery, telecommunications infrastructure, technology development, project oversight and leadership.
The awards are Project of the Year – Winner, Fiber Go-Big FTTH Project; Telecom Project of the Year – Winner, Fiber Go-Big FTTH Project; and PMO of the Year – First Runner-Up, MTN Ghana Transformation Office.
The rest are IT Project of the Year – Second Runner-Up, CS Hardware Expansion Project; Project Manager of the Year – Winner, Edward Ohene Antwi Boasiako; and Project Manager of the Year – First Runner-Up, Manuella Asianoa.
A statement issued in Accra by Mrs Adwoa Afriyie Wiafe, Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer, MTN Ghana, said the Fiber Go-Big FTTH Project earned the company both the Project of the Year and Telecom Project of the Year awards.
It said the project expanded broadband access across six regions of Ghana, exceeding the target for homes passed and increasing MTN Ghana’s fibre coverage and homes connected.
The statement said the CS Hardware Expansion Project (CIS NextGen) was recognised as the Second Runner-Up for IT Project of the Year.
It said the project upgraded MTN Ghana’s customer information systems infrastructure, improving system capacity, reliability and service availability.
“MTN Ghana’s Transformation Office received the First Runner-Up award in the PMO of the Year category for its role in overseeing projects across the business and ensuring investments deliver the intended results,” it added.
Mr Stephen Blewett, Chief Executive Officer of MTN Ghana, commenting on the achievement, said: “These awards are not only about projects. They are about strategy delivered.”
He said every fibre home passed and every system upgraded was a building block of Ambition 2030, the company’s commitment to leading the delivery of digital solutions for Africa’s progress.
“Ghana’s digital economy will be built on infrastructure that works, and that is what disciplined project delivery gives us. My thanks go to our Transformation Office, our project teams and our partners, who continue to turn ambition into something our customers and this country can actually use,” he added.
Mr William Tetteh, Chief Transformation Officer of MTN Ghana, said the awards reflected a deliberate discipline behind how the company delivered its business plans.
“Ambition is the easy part. Delivery is key. Exceeding our target did not happen by chance. It happened because our team planned tightly and ensured no project drifted. That discipline is how we work, and it is not a one-off effort,” he said.
Mr Tetteh said the company’s commitment was to deliver on time, remain accountable and ensure that every cedi invested translated into better value for customers.
The 2026 National Project Management Conference and Project Management Excellence Awards brought together project management professionals, business leaders and industry stakeholders to recognise outstanding achievements in project delivery and discuss the role of project management in supporting business growth and national development.
