Ghanaian Communications Minister Dr Benjamin Aggrey- Ntim , has confessed that the Nigerian companies in Ghana, particularly the Omatek computer company, have helped in boosting the Ghanaian economy.
Aggrey-Ntim in a chat with this reporter at the recent concluded Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation, CTO event, held in Abuja Nigeria, penultimate week, commended the foresight of Nigerian computer company Omatek, Ventures Plc, which recently made a foray into the Ghanaian economy, saying that the decision to come into Ghana was a wise one.
Ntim who was one of the delegates that visited the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC facilities, to mark a successful ending of the two-day CTO event, showered praises on the Nigerian companies that have expanded into the Ghanaian economy, saying they would not regret their actions.
According to him, "Nigeria and Ghana has always been good neighbours and we have a lot of Nigerian companies in Ghana, like Omatek which is doing extremely well there. Today, the company has become a household name and its acceptability lies on the aggressive market strategies which have also impacted positively on the aggregate economy of Ghana.
Besides that, Ntim said that since almost all the telecom companies in Nigeria are also in Ghana, the two countries were almost adopting the same growth parameters to sustain economic growth, but added that the CTO event has however provided some eye openers and some resilient regulatory frameworks which he would like to adapt into the Ghanaian system.
