TD Mobile has revealed that the company has officially launched its operations in Ghana and has also been appointed as the exclusive distributors of Nokia mobile phones in the West African country, a development that both Nokia and TD Mobile believe will deepen the rate of technology diffusion and mobile devices penetration in Ghana.
The announcement was made at an event held at the prestigious Villa Monticello Boutique Hotel, Airport Residential Area, Accra and saw a number of key government functionaries from the Ministry of Communication, Ministry of Business Development, Ministry of Trade and Industry, captains of industries; representatives of major telecoms companies and stakeholders in the smartphone reseller and consumer space in attendance.
The launch of TD Mobile in Ghana has led the company to believe that they can aid in the rise of smartphone penetration across the country. They added that hopes are also high for improved access to genuine quality mobile devices at the right prices for the majority of Ghanaians.
TD Mobile also announced the signing of a major partnership agreement with HMD Global as sole distributors of Nokia mobile devices including the Nokia 8 and the re-born version of the iconic Nokia 3310.
A subsidiary of ICT distribution company Technology Distributions Ltd., TD Mobile will add the Nokia brand to a growing list of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) represented by the distributor in the West African sub-region. Some of the major brands represented in the TD Mobile stable include Infinix, Samsung, Tecno, Lenovo, InnJoo and Transcend, among many others.
“We are extremely delighted to extend our operations to Ghana which remains one of the most prominent markets in the West African sub-region. We are also excited with our appointment as exclusive distributors of NOKIA mobile phones in the country,” Mrs Gozy Ijogun, managing director, TD Mobile, enthused.
“With a predominantly youthful population, stable political system and an admirably aspirational mindset among its people, there is so much potential in Ghana. We are optimistic that, with the launch of TD Mobile and the unveiling of new lines of products and partnerships here, the rate of technology diffusion and smartphone penetration will reach unprecedented levels. The positive effects of these on the economy and the standard of living in the country are huge and we are so excited to be a part of it,” she concluded.
Also speaking at the event, Mr Joseph Umunnakwe, HMD Global’s general manager, West, East and Central Africa expressed delight with the company’s partnership with TD Mobile which in his opinion, will provide more options and real value for resellers and consumers in Ghana’s mobile devices market space.
