Tigo and Airtel will operate under the name AirtelTigo after their merger was approved by the National Communication Authority.

The merger of the two telecommunication firms makes them the second largest telecom firm, in the country boasting 22% percent of the market share.

AirtelTigo Chief Executive Officer Roshi Motman introduced the new executive members of the firm to workers after the rebranding.

“He joins us from Airtel Indian, please help me welcome Mufti Shaban as the new Chief Operating Officer, From Airtel Ghana, please help me welcome Kwame Annor who will take care of the human resource in the company. Bright Owusu Bempah will bring the money, let’s welcome him.”

Motman acknowledged their new status and the invaluable role it comes with, “As you can see, we are now bigger, better and stronger with 22 percent market share. It means that we will play an important part in the industry and serve our customers with quality and better service.”

Some officials are exiting the company as the merger has led to new strategic methods of operation.  Airtel’s MD, Lucy Quist resigned from the company some months.
