Airtel Ghana has denied rumour making round that a decision has been taken by its owners to shut down its activities in Ghana.


There was earlier report that Bharti Airtel, the mother company of Airtel Ghana, has announced that it will be exiting 14 African countries including Ghana within a year.

The affected countries include Ghana, Nigeria, Congo, Chad, Gabon, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Niger, Rwanda, Seychelles, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.

BloombergQuint quotes Bharti Airtel Chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal as saying "the move would pare the size of operations in the continent and could be completed within a year....some of Bharti’s businesses in 14 African nations would be affected."

Airtel Ghana has however issued a statement on its tweeter handle to debunk the earlier report.
