Sam George calls on TikTok to fairly reward Ghanaian content creators

Minister for Communications, Innovation, and Digital Technology, Sam George, says he has engaged with social media giant TikTok on the need to ensure that Ghanaian content creators are fairly rewarded for their work.

He made this known during the Government Accountability Series held on Friday, August 1, where he shared details of a recent discussion with TikTok officials focused on strengthening Ghana’s digital ecosystem.

“During the meeting, I urged TikTok to ensure fair compensation to Ghanaian content creators. I also proposed the establishment of a local moderation and content governance team to reflect Ghana’s values, protect our user rights, and support national regulatory expectations,” he announced.

Sam George also mentioned that plans are underway for a collaborative programme between his Ministry and TikTok aimed at building the capacity of local creators.

“I’m looking forward to the TikTok partnership with the ministry to provide capacity building for our content creators in the country on how best to monetise that platform for the benefit of Ghanaian content creators. That should happen in the 4th quarter of this year [2025],” he said.
