MTN Ghana Has Been Crowned Overall Winner Of The MTN Group 2025 Million Dollar
MTN Ghana’s Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Blewett, has described the company’s recent recognition as the overall winner of the MTN Group 2025 Million Dollar Challenge as a “massive acknowledgement” of the team’s performance and commitment to customers.
Speaking at the first edition of the MTN Bright Conversation, Stephen Blewett said the award, presented at the MTN Global Leadership Gathering 2026, reflects execution excellence across all business segments.
“It’s always very pleasing to be the CEO of a very successful organisation. But the reality of the success of MTN Ghana is the engaged and passionate people we have here,” he stated.

According to him, the achievement was broad-based. “It’s the first time in my career… that I’ve actually sat back at the end of the year and said, ‘I can’t think of a single department that hasn’t done well. That’s unusual,” he noted, citing strong performances in data innovation, customer experience, network expansion, and fintech, particularly mobile money.
Beyond recognition, Stephen Blewett signalled an aggressive investment drive backed by macroeconomic stability.
“Any business wants a stable macro environment, and that’s what we got in 2025,” he said, adding that stability provides certainty for long-term capital commitments.
“We will invest over $300 million this year in Ghana. That investment’s not going to pay off in one year. So as a CEO we need to know there’s a stable economic future.”
He further highlighted that exchange rate stability enhances network investment capacity, explaining that a stronger cedi allows the company to procure more equipment for expansion and quality improvements.
Looking ahead to 2026, the CEO outlined a strategy anchored on deeper network rollout, digital transformation and customer-centric innovation.
“We want to work on the network. We need to roll out more sites… look at peri-urban areas… and even rural areas,” he said. The company also plans to expand digital self-service options through its MyMTN platform and scale support for small businesses in the digital economy.
Summing up his outlook, Mr Blewett declared, “I’m looking forward to a year of innovation… being leaders in driving innovation in Ghana and making innovation something that benefits the lives of our customers.”
