More Ghanaian youth are going to receive digital skills training as part of efforts to boost employment opportunities for the youth in the digital economy space.
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, said about 5,000 youth from the Atwima Nwabiagya South constituency would benefit from the digital skills training programme.
Addressing a mini rally at Abuakwa as part of his campaign tour of the constituency, he said the objective was to provide the youth with skills and expertise that would create employment opportunities for them in the digital and technological space to improve their living conditions.
Dr. Bawumia said that as Vice President of Ghana, he had worked to support the President in developing and implementing about 33 new policies and projects that had helped position the country firmly on the digital and technological highway.
He said what Ghana needed today was the ability to take full advantage of technology to transform the country’s economy.
Dr. Bawumia pointed out that his vision was to use technology to promote inclusivity in governance, the economy, education, health, and all other aspects of human activity.
This, according to him, was the surest way for the country to be part of the fourth industrial revolution.
He urged the people in the area to vote massively for the NPP to continue with the various intervention programmes that were helping to improve the lives of the people.
Shirley Tiwaa Kyei, the NPP Parliamentary Candidate for the area, thanked the supporters for embracing Dr. Bawumia in their numbers and asked them to transfer that into voting to maintain their historical unflinching support for the party.
She stressed the need for Ghanaians to trust Dr. Bawumia for his visionary, unifying, humble, and competent leadership qualities and give him the mandate to enable him to implement his initiatives for the benefit of all Ghanaians.
