frustration and disappointment with the customer service they receive at the MTN office.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The customers complain of extreme overcrowding, long wait times, and inadequate service, which they say is affecting their daily lives.<\/p>\n<p>According to the customers, the Bolgatanga MTN office is the only one in the region that can resolve certain issues, such as SIM card problems, forcing customers from other districts to travel to Bolgatanga and wait in long queues for assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Some customers claimed they have been in the queue at MTN office for two or more days to resolve their issues, which they described as frustration.<\/p>\n<p>The customers attributed the poor service to MTN refusal to expand it&#8217;s offices in other districts that can provide similar services.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18887\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18887\" style=\"width: 565px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\"
