“The management of NextGen InfraCo (NGIC) wish to officially clarify that since its inception, the position of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has been held by Mr. Tenu Awoonor. Recent reports erroneously naming Mr. Tony
Mintah as the CEO are inaccurate.

NGIC urged both media outlets and the public to note this clarification and correct any inaccuracies regarding the company’s leadership structure.
