Change in mode of support package for Ghanaians returning from South Africa delayed announcement – MTN Board Chairman

MTN Ghana's chairman, Dr. Ishmael Yamson, disclosed that the company's decision to review the support package for Ghanaians returning from South Africa delayed the announcement. Initially, the plan was to provide GHC 10 million in support, but the board deemed it inadequate and not befitting. Dr. Yamson, an economist, revealed that they later increased the support to GHC 20,000, intending to provide long-term assistance for these "returnees."

The chairman explained that the delays were due to finalizing approvals as a multinational company, but they are nearing completion, and an announcement will be made soon. Dr. Yamson also condemned the recent xenophobic attacks against Ghanaians in South Africa, calling them "unfortunate" and stating that MTN Ghana would not support such acts.
