Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has emphasized the pivotal role of digitalization in Ghana’s economic strategy, a key focus of President Akufo-Addo’s administration.
Speaking at the launch of the CitizenApp on Monday, October 7, 2024, Dr. Bawumia highlighted how the Fourth Industrial Revolution is reshaping economies worldwide and reiterated the government’s commitment to positioning Ghana to fully benefit from this digital transformation.
The CitizenApp, a comprehensive platform, will provide citizens with access to various government services, enable issue reporting, and offer real-time updates on public matters.
Dr. Bawumia described the app as a personalized tool designed to enhance convenience and transparency in government-citizen interactions, making processes more efficient and communication with state institutions more seamless.
“Under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s leadership, digitalization has become a cornerstone of our economic strategy. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is already transforming global landscapes, and as a nation that missed out on the previous three revolutions, we cannot afford to miss this one. We must seize the opportunities it presents,” he said.
He further noted that, evidence shows digital innovation’s potential to create jobs, boost productivity, raise income levels, and drive wealth creation across the nation.
