Delivering the opening remarks, Madam Adwoa Wiafe, Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer of MTN Ghana, urged bloggers and digital content creators to embrace the ethical and responsible use of artificial intelligence to support the growth of Ghana’s digital economy.

Cybersecurity was a major focus of the forum, with participants highlighting the growing need for digital users and content creators to adopt safer online practices as digital platforms become increasingly integrated into everyday life.

Discussions also focused on MTN Mobile Money (MoMo) and its growing role in Ghana’s digital financial ecosystem. Participants examined the importance of improving public awareness and promoting secure practices to safeguard digital financial transactions.


The forum further explored the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence on content creation, communication and the wider media industry. Participants considered the opportunities offered by emerging technologies while emphasising the need for responsible, ethical and informed adoption.

As MTN Ghana celebrates 30 years of operations, the company also reflected on its journey and contribution to Ghana’s telecommunications sector and digital transformation.

For members of NMAG, the forum served as a platform for direct engagement with MTN Ghana, allowing practitioners to share industry experiences, raise concerns and exchange views on issues affecting bloggers and digital content creators.

NMAG President, Eugene Osafo Nkansah, called on MTN Ghana to consider introducing a dedicated data package for bloggers and other practitioners in the new media space.

He noted that a specialised package could help digital media practitioners manage their online operations more effectively and support them in carrying out their professional responsibilities.

The proposal received positive reactions from participants, with several practitioners describing MTN’s data services as reliable and expressing support for a dedicated package tailored to the needs of bloggers and digital content creators.
