John Dramani Mahama, a former leader of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its flagbearer, has said that the party’s future administration will invest billions of dollars on digital infrastructure to help the nation improve and prosper.
The former president emphasised the role that technology plays in the modern economic growth of nations throughout the globe.
The former president emphasised the necessity for the nation’s educational system to be transformed in order to meet the needs of the twenty-first century while speaking at the Academic City University College graduation ceremony.
“The 21st century thrives on the digital revolution in which innovation and originality are the propelling forces of progress and to thrive in this era, our educational system must evolve to equip the next generation with critical thinking skills, creativity, and innovation to solve problems and this is why the NDC in her quest to build the Ghana we want, seeks to partner with the private sector to invest billions of dollars on an integrated ICT infrastructure system including onshore and offshore super highways and electronic applications.”
“The investment will leverage 5G technology to propel communication, commerce, civil liberties and individual expressions while supporting other national priorities,” Mr. Mahama added.
