The newly merged AirtelTigo, formed out of the merger of the former two separate networks, have reportedly instructed staff members to reapply for their jobs.
The merger has necessitated a trimming of the size of the company and thus staff of both have been asked to reapply for management to make appointments for the vacated roles.
GhanaCelebrities.Com reported weeks ago on a planned merger between Airtel and Tigo in Ghana to attempt to create a super network to take on the hegemony of MTN.
Whilst both companies – Bharti Airtel and Millicom Ghana Limited, operators of Airtel and Tigo respectively – came out to deny any deal was in the making, we now have confirmation that the deal has actually happened.
Bharti Airtel, operators of the network in Africa, have denied reports that they are going to quit operating on the continent.
Some comments passed by chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal on the company looking to parse its operations had sparked the reports, but they have denied having such intents in a statement.
Airtel Ghana has over the years been offering below abysmal customer service to Ghanaians with unending complaints on social media and our sister website-CustomerDiscuss.Com, therefore, their exit from Ghana will come as a delight to a lot of Ghanaians.
According to a report by Adom Fm, “Bharti Airtel, the mother company of Airtel Ghana, has announced that it will be exiting 14 African countries including Ghana within a year.”
