Minister for Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovation Samuel Nartey George has stated that the much-touted 5G services launched by Next-Gen Infrastructure Company (NGIC) during the Akufo-Addo administration were non-existent.
The MP for Ningo-Prampam recounted a high-profile event held on November 1, 2024, where the unveiling of what was claimed to be high-speed 5G internet services in major cities, including Accra, Kumasi, and Takoradi, took place.
The launch event, hosted at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel, saw significant attendance, including the then Minister of Communications and Digitalisation, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful.
However, Mr George has taken a critical stance, labelling the launch as merely a "smokescreen".
