Media General Explores Partnership with Ghana’s Communication Ministry Ahead of Africa Digital Festival
Briefing the Minister, Mrs. Agyemang said the festival aims to become a Pan-African digital showcase, bringing together policymakers, innovators, industry leaders, and content creators to deliberate on the continent’s digital future.
The Chief Executive Officer of Media General, Mrs. Beatrice Agyemang, on Thursday led a delegation to pay a courtesy call on the Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Hon. Samuel Nartey George (MP). The visit centered on strengthening collaboration ahead of Media General’s maiden Africa Digital Festival, scheduled for December 15–20, 2025 in Accra.
Briefing the Minister, Mrs. Agyemang said the festival aims to become a Pan-African digital showcase, bringing together policymakers, innovators, industry leaders, and content creators to deliberate on the continent’s digital future.
According to Mr. Sena Quashie, Media General’s Manager for Digital, the five-day programme will feature policy roundtables, technology exhibitions, and strategic engagements with digital ministers from across Africa. He emphasized that Ghana is uniquely positioned to establish itself as a continental hub for digital policy leadership, and closer collaboration with the Ministry would help boost the festival’s reach and impact.
In response, Hon. Nartey George welcomed the initiative, noting that it complements the Ministry’s broader agenda of cementing Ghana’s role as a thought leader in digital governance. He revealed that the Ministry is also preparing to host an “African Digital Davos” in 2026, which will convene ICT ministers, African innovators, and global technology firms for strategic dialogue.
The Minister assured Media General of the Ministry’s support, urging the company to submit a formal proposal to pave the way for official collaboration. He further highlighted that 2026 will mark a milestone year, as the National Communications Authority (NCA) celebrates its 30th anniversary with a series of high-profile ICT events planned in Ghana.
The discussions also touched on content regulation, the future of broadcasting, and sustainable models for Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT). Hon. Nartey George reiterated his commitment to cleaning up Ghana’s media space through stronger regulation while encouraging innovation and professionalism within the broadcasting sector.
The meeting concluded with both sides affirming their readiness to collaborate on the upcoming Africa Digital Festival in December and additional Ministry-led programmes in 2026.
