The Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovations has announced that the government will merge AT Ghana (formerly AirtelTigo) and Telecel Ghana to create what it describes as a stronger and more sustainable telecom operator.

At a staff engagement at AT Ghana's head office in Accra, sector minister Samuel Nartey George assured employees that none of the 300 permanent staff will lose their jobs under the new arrangement. "This is not a re-application process.

It is a continuation of your contracts.

Every one of you will be absorbed, unless you personally choose to leave," he stressed.
