The Hon. Minister for Communications, Dr. Edward Omane-Boamah has commissioned the new ultra modern Head Office of the National Communications Authority (NCA) in Accra today.
Known as the NCA Tower, the building is located in the airport city. It comprises 11 floors including 2 underground parking levels and 3 elevators. Being an equal opportunities employer and making the facilities open to all consumers, the NCA tower is specially adopted for the physically challenged, it has elevators with audio prompts for visually challenged.
In his keynote address Dr. Omane-Boamah said government is committed to resourcing the NCA to deliver on its mandate. He commended the NCA management and staff for decentralizing its operations by putting up permanent offices at seven regions. He also commended Board, Management and staff of the Authority for using their internally generated funds to build this huge edifice.
In his welcome address, the Director-General of the NCA, Mr. William Tevie said the NCA Tower was built with its stakeholders in mind. He said, “for our staff the NCA Tower means an improved working environment, for our consumers there will be more space to meet and engage with us and their service providers to address their complaints, for our operators, adequate meeting rooms to discuss ongoing regulatory projects and for the ordinary Ghanaian, this goes to prove that once we have a can do attitude combined with effective leadership, we will succeed.”
The Director-General also stated that the building is but one of the numerous achievements recorded over the twenty-year period. “The NCA started off with one office in Accra in 1996. Today, in addition to Accra, the Authority has 7 regional offices in Ho, Sunyani, Koforidua, Bolgatanga, Kumasi, Takoradi and Tamale. This is to enable the Authority bring its services closer to the communities and also to facilitate effective monitoring of spectral resources as well as the quality of service delivered by Operators to their consumers in the various regions”, Mr. Tevie added. He indicated that, “having completed this building, we shall discuss the feasibility of constructing our own buildings in these regional offices as against continuing to rent”.
He expressed gratitude to the previous Board members and Directors for their efforts and gave the assurance that the current Board of Directors, Management and Staff will build on their legacies.
Remarks by the Board chairman, Mr. Eugene Baffoe-Bonnie indicated that the office complex will solidify Ghana’s position in the sub- region as a communications regulator par excellence. In addition, he said,” the office complex marks the Authority’s growth from our beginnings twenty years ago and shows the world what the NCA as a regulator has become by sharing our most treasured technical capabilities with regulators in the sub region.”
The event was attended by some key stakeholders of the NCA such as the Ghana Independent Broadcasters Association, Ghana ICT Chamber, Ghana Journalists Association and the Telecoms Chamber among others.

Dr. Richard Tia (KNUST lecturer, Chemistry Dept) shares his view on Facebook..... I strongly disagree with Joy FM's Manasseh Azure Awuni's position that the construction of the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange is nothing to be celebrated because "any joker can do it". Kwame Nkrumah Circle was constructed in the 1960s and since then nothing had been done to give it a face-lift befitting a national capital. All of us knew that Kwame Nkrumah Circle was a national disgrace and something needed to be done about it. If John Mahama's government has done it, he needs to be celebrated for it. These days "any joker" can get a second class diploma from GIJ but when Manasseh did it he celebrated "well well" on Facebook and we all congratulated him even though we were aware that people of Manasseh's age were getting Ph.D.s in Europe, America and Asia. If the price is inflated, as almost all of John Mahama's projects are, let's discuss that, but the building of the interchange is a welcome development and we should all praise the government for it. Does the Interchange puts us at par with Dubai as some government propagandists are trying hard to imply? Not by any stretch of common sense! Does John Mahama deserve a second term by virtue of constructing the Interchange? Not at all, in my opinion; John Mahama's negatives far outweigh his positives. But has John Mahama done very well by constructing the Interchange? Absolutely!
