The Minister of Communication and Digitalisation, Mrs Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has encouraged girls to leverage the transformative power of technology to enable them to create positive change in their communities.
The minister expressed a strong commitment to transforming Information and Communications Technology (ICT) education for girls, emphasising the necessity for young females to adapt to the digital landscape in order to compete effectively both nationally and globally. "Whether it's developing apps, creating digital art, or solving real-world problems, the possibilities are endless," she said during her visit to five selected 'Girls-in-ICT' training centres in the Ashanti Region, at the weekend.
The purpose of the tour was to cultivate enthusiasm and enhance appreciation among the participants of the Girls-in-ICT project, in accordance with the International Telecommunication Union's Resolution 70.
This initiative aims to empower girls and women by providing them with essential skills in information and communication technology.
