Dr. Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah Lauds Prez Nana Addo's Digital Initiatives
Dr. Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah has applauded President Nana Akufo-Addo for his efforts to digitize the economy.
The President, in his State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Tuesday, March 9, told the nation about his government's digitization initiatives.
"Mr. Speaker, Government, in four years, has recorded a number of significant milestones in our quest to formalise and modernise the Ghanaian economy. We believe it is the fairest and fastest way to achieve our goals. The National Identity Card rollout, the National Digital Property Addressing System, the interoperability of mobile money transactions, the introduction of the paperless operations at the port, e-business registration system, and access to digital financial services are all part of the drive to formalise our economy, and enhance its productivity," the President said.
He pledged commitment to effectively modernize the economy in his second term ensuring a digital network across the country.
Touching on the President's SONA, Dr. Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah held that the government's digital plans will help ease the economy.
Citing an instance where the Ghana card, driver's licence and other important documents would be linked so as to make it easily accessible to Ghanaians, Dr. Otchere-Ankrah commended the President.
"It will ease us and reduce crimes," he said on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo" programme.
