Speaking at the 12th Information Communications Technology for Development (ICT4D) Conference in Accra, Mrs. Owusu-Ekuful emphasised the pivotal role that technology plays in shaping the country’s future.

According to her, since 2017, the country has made significant strides in its digital transformation journey.

She noted that the expansion of broadband infrastructure and the promotion of digital literacy initiatives are evident that the government has laid the groundwork for a future where “technology serves as a driving force for socio-economic advancement”.
