We have made digitisation a central pillar of our economic strategy – Bawumia

Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has said that the Akufo-Addo administration has successfully made digitization a central pillar of our economic strategy.

He called on Ghanaians to embrace the Fourth industrial revolution which is digitalisation.

Dr Bawumia said these when he was speaking at the launch of the CitizenApp in Accra on Monday, October 7, 2024.

The CitizenpApp aims to make processes more efficient and strengthen communication between the public and state institutions.

“Under the leadership of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, we have made digitisation a central pillar of our economic strategy. Recognising that the fourth industrial revolution is already happening and it is reshaping global landscapes.

“As a country, that has missed the previous three revolutions that many nations took advantage of to become developed countries. We must not miss the fourth industrial revolution. We must seize the opportunities that this fourth revolution presents.

“There is mounting empirical evidence that highlights the transformative potential of digital innovation to create jobs, boost productivity, increase income levels and foster wealth creation,” he stated.
