The Ministry of Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovation is making strong strides in Ghana's digital transformation under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama, according to the sector Minister Hon.
Sam George.
Speaking during the Government Accountability Series, Sam George outlined four key areas driving the agenda: expanding access to digital infrastructure, developing inclusive digital skills, strengthening cybersecurity and regulation, and promoting innovation and tech-sector growth.
He pointed to the launch of the "1 Million Coders Program" in April 2025 as a milestone initiative to equip young Ghanaians with practical digital skills. "The program received over 90,000 applications in just 48 hours," he noted, adding that the pilot has already trained 859 individuals, more than half of whom were women.
