Spokesperson and Economic Advisor to the Vice President, Dr. Gideon Boako, has said that the doubting Thomases of the Vice President’s digitalization lecture lacks knowledge to understand.
According to him, you will need to have a deeper insight knowledge into modern technological trends before you can appreciate the vice president’s lecture.
More Jobs Created Than NDC....Through Digitization
Speaking in an exclusive interview on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia program, he explained that the NPP government through its digitization agenda has created more jobs than the erstwhile Mahama and NDC administration.
"I find it very funny when the NDC and the likes of Hon. Adongo goes around to say that this digitization does not put money into the pockets of the ordinary Ghanaian. It’s because they have cloud their senses with their myopic political interest.
"The NPP government has through the improvement of the economy provided more jobs and also creating avenues for more jobs to be created.
"Ghana’s economy, through the ingenuity of the Vice President, is gradually taking shape which I believe will help improve the lives of the ordinary Ghanaian," he stated.
Take Advantage of Ghana's Digital Revolution
Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has urged the vibrant youth of the country to take more advantage of the digital revolution the government is undertaking.
The Ghanaian economy has undergone significant digital transformation over the past four years, with many technological innovations and e-commerce springing up.
Delivering a public lecture at the Ashesi University Tuesday evening on the impact of digitilization on the Ghanaian economy, Dr. Bawumia said digitilization is a youth revolution, which presents huge prospects for the brilliant Ghanaian youth in terms of job creation, and also to enable them contribute more to the development of the nation.
"The digital revolution is a youth driven revolution. It is your revolution," Dr. Bawumia said.
"There is a growing body of empirical evidence that illustrates the capacity of digital technology to create jobs, significantly boost productivity, increase income and support wealth creation."

The ndc should be warned that there are a growing population of university graduates in Ghana . On top of it there are also a large number of secondary school products because of the free boarding school program who are happy with the proposed digitisation. To them it’s interesting times ahead of them. What is wrong about digitisation? Is it bad or good? Come on the ndc! Why do you want our party to become a laughingstock? While as Bawumia is talking about digitisation, President Mahama is still taking about one million ballots stuff in 2020. Which one of them is a winning message?
These NDC people never learn. So far, all the things that the government wanted to implement and NDC said they were impossible, have been successfully implemented, yet they continue to oppose. Ghana card, new voters register, Free SHS, Zipline drones etc., NDC have opposed. Now they are benefitting from these same interventions.
Let the habitual naysayers know that digitalization bringt with it a new branch of profession for the youth who are IT-litrerate. They can open up consulting offices to render for a fee, certain sirvices for those who are not IT-literate.
You have said it all. Understanding is their problem and they won't ask for explanation and tuition. The same thing they did with the NHIS when the NPP proposed its implementation.
