The New African Magazine, Africa’s biggest and renowned news magazine, has lauded Ghana’s Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for a yeoman’s job championing digitalization.
In its latest publication, the Pan-African news magazine has prominently featured Ghana’s globally acclaimed digitalization efforts.
The London-based magazine has written extensively on Ghana’s remarkable effort at transforming its economy through digitalization.
“Ghana’s Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has done remarkably well with his digitalization drive of the Ghanaian economy. He is changing the trajectory of the economy and this is worthy of mentioning” the magazine wrote.
According to his magazine, not only is Bawumia’s digitalization drive transforming the economy but it is also making a lot of impact in changing the way Ghanaians live and conduct business.
The magazine also emphasized the significant impact of digitalization in the fight against corruption. According to them, several agencies of government have been digitalized so much so that there is no need for human interface, something that is aiding in reducing corruption in the country.
The flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has been at the forefront of formalizing Ghana’s economy through the adoption of digitalization in many sectors of the economy.
Since 2017, Ghana’s digitalisation drive has seen the successful implementation of a national biometric identification system, a property address system, mobile money interoperability between all telephone networks and financial institutions, digitisation of government services at the DVLA, passport offices, NHIS services, port operations, delivery of essential drugs through drones, among many others.
