Business News of Wednesday, 4 March 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comGhana’s National Communications Authority (NCA) has announced plans to remove the 5G exclusivity clause in the licence of Next-Gen Infraco (NGIC). The move, if approved, will end NGIC’s exclusive rights in the 5G space and is intended to ensure that the country’s 5G market remains fully competitive. In a public notice dated March 4, 2026, the NCA said it had issued a proposed licence amendment under Section 14 of the Electronic Communications Act, 2008 (Act 775). If confirmed, the change would allow other telecom operators to deploy 5G services independently. However, the NCA disclosed that NGIC is in default of a licence fee instalment payment under its agreed schedule.
