Comsys Ghana Limited, one of the country’s pioneering indigenous ICT infrastructure providers, celebrated its silver jubilee in grand style on Friday evening at the Alisa Hotel in North Ridge, Accra, on the theme: “Beyond Connectivity: 25 Years of Innovation, Trust, and Transformation.”
The black-tie dinner and awards night brought together captains of industry, government officials, traditional leaders, long-serving staff, and partners to honour a quarter-century journey that began with laying copper cables and has evolved into owning a nationwide self-built fibre, microwave, and VSAT network that powers enterprises from the bustling streets of Accra to the remotest corners of Ghana.
In a stirring keynote address, Board Chairman Mr Jonathan Lamptey traced the company’s evolution from pioneering Ghana’s first Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network to becoming a full-service ICT partner whose infrastructure has become the “digital nervous system” of corporate Ghana.
“What started as a promise to deliver resilient and forward-looking solutions has matured into a legacy of trust,” Mr Lamptey told the audience. He highlighted Comsys’ triple ISO certifications — ISO 9001 for Quality Management, ISO/IEC 20000-1 for IT Service Management, and the critical ISO/IEC 27001 for Information Security Management — as evidence of the company’s unwavering commitment to excellence in an era of rising cyber threats.
Mr Lamptey noted that while Ghana’s digital sector recorded an impressive average annual growth of 19 per cent between 2014 and 2020, Comsys had positioned itself as “the engine room” quietly powering the backend connectivity that enables seamless digital experiences for end-users.
Mrs Femi Lamptey, wife of the founder, delivered an emotional tribute, recounting the early struggles and the family’s determination to build an indigenous Ghanaian technology champion at a time when the sector was dominated by foreign players.
The Guest of Honour, His Majesty Ga Mantse King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, was represented by his Chief of Staff, Juliana Amoah Adjei.
In a powerful speech read on the King’s behalf, the Ga Mantse commended Comsys for its contribution to national development and reiterated the Ga stool’s longstanding commitment to supporting indigenous technology companies.
“The Ga Mantse Traditional Council has always believed that real progress comes when we nurture and protect our own,” Ms Amoah Adjei read, drawing loud applause from the audience.”
The evening also saw long-serving employees and strategic partners honoured with awards for loyalty and excellence.
Veteran staff who have been with Comsys since its inception in 2000 received special recognition, underscoring the company’s culture of family and continuity.
Looking ahead
Mr Jonathan Lamptey announced that Comsys is now fully focused on the next chapter: expanding digital access, strengthening critical national infrastructure, and empowering Ghanaian businesses to compete globally without limits.
“From a connectivity provider, we have become a transformation partner.
The next 25 years will be about orchestrating an inclusive, secure, and boundless digital future for Ghana,” he declared.
As the night ended with live performances and networking, one message resonated clearly: after 25 years of quietly building the backbone of Ghana’s digital economy, Comsys Ghana Limited is ready to take centre stage in shaping the nation’s technological destiny.
