MTN Ghana has called for
stronger execution, leadership and accountability in delivering projects that
support Ghana's development, with the company stressing that transformative
ideas must be backed by effective implementation to achieve lasting impact.
Speaking as the opening

Project Management Excellence Awards 2026, MTN Ghana's Chief Transformation
Officer, William Tetteh, said disciplined execution remains a critical factor
in translating national aspirations into measurable outcomes.
Addressing the conference
under the theme, "Beyond Vision: Delivering Ghana's Transformation,"
Tetteh emphasized the importance of strong leadership, sound governance and
accountability in ensuring projects deliver sustainable value to businesses,
institutions and citizens.
He noted that MTN Ghana's
transformation journey demonstrates that sustainable change is achieved not
through technology alone, but through a combination of innovation, disciplined
planning, collaboration and an unwavering focus on creating value for customers.
Also speaking at the
conference, Benard Agblevor, Project Lead for Managed Network Solutions at MTN

expertise by investing in local talent development and strengthening indigenous
capabilities.
Agblevor underscored the
importance of building robust local systems and empowering Ghanaian
professionals to lead the country's digital and infrastructure transformation.
The conference brought
together project management professionals, business leaders and industry
stakeholders to discuss strategies for improving project delivery and advancing
