Roshi Motman, MD of tigo is likely to be named the MD of the new entity to be created following the merger of Tigo and Airtel Ghana
it is unclear yet the position Ms Lucy Quist, current MD of Airtel will be occupying
The two companies officially announce of a merge -early march- in quest to dominate the highly competitive telecoms market as the second biggest telco in the country after MTN.
Under the merger, the two companies will be holding equal share in stake
Following this, there have been uneasy calm among staff and some management members of about their future in both companies
Madam Roshi Motman, is quoted as saying last Wednesday that the moment the transaction is done there will be redistribution of management within Ghana with retention of best talent from both companies to drive the combined entity towards profitability
“Once the transaction closes there will be reallocation of resources within both Airtel and Millicom with the objective of rationalisation of operations. We can expect some headcount reduction as we need to ensure key functions are not duplicated. Until we get regulatory approval, no change will happen.”
