Hajia Samira Bawumia<\/strong><\/p>\n GHANA\u2019S SECOND Lady, Hajia Samira Bawumia, has called on Ghanaians, especially those in the diaspora, to take keener interests in the development of the nation, while participating fully in its development.<\/p>\n Delivering the keynote address at the Ghana Action Forum, held Thursday at the Kempinski Golf Coast Hotel in Accra, Hajia Samira intimated that with government radically pursuing a digitalisation agenda, there was the need for all agencies, institutions and initiatives to continue to implore various areas of investments, especially as government aims at transforming the nation\u2019s economy through digitalisation.<\/p>\n \u201cWe can only build a strong and vibrant economy if we have a strong digital system,\u201d she stated, while adding that there is much more to be done in making digitalisation a common feature for Ghanaians.<\/p>\n \u201cI urge Ghanaians and the diaspora to participate [fully] in the development of Ghana. We need the participation of all.<\/p>\n \u201cIt could be your ideas, money and skills, and more importantly your need to maintain your connection with your mother country,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n She charged that, \u201cChallenges, though significant, let\u2019s be assured, are not insurmountable,\u201d and that, \u201cWe can make great strides towards a brighter future. Now is the time to work together to build.\u201d<\/p>\n Dr. Sangu Delle, CEO, Africa Health Holdings, also in his remarks, lamented about the poor rate of development witnessed in Ghana especially with unemployment on the rise.<\/p>\n Describing it as a \u201ccrisis\u201d, Dr. Delle said unemployment would soon become the single most dominant challenge towards Ghana\u2019s development.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a crisis. It\u2019s an absolute calamity that\u2019s going to happen if it\u2019s not addressed,\u201d he lamented vehemently.<\/p>\n He, therefore, advised that \u201cwe should cease complaining and do something,\u201d adding that we need to learn from the example of others.<\/p>\n On the need for Ghanaian diasporans to contribute to national development, Dr. Delle reiterated that Ghana, as a country, needs to have a clear world view of how she intends mobilising the diaspora for national development by having in place \u201csensible policies.\u201d<\/p>\n By Nii Adjei Mensahfio<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hajia Samira Bawumia GHANA\u2019S SECOND Lady, Hajia Samira Bawumia, has called on Ghanaians, especially those in the diaspora, to take keener interests in the development of the nation, while participating fully in its development.
