It has already transformed our lives in ways that were simply unpredictable just a decade ago and will continue to do so. Globally and here in Ghana, we now see digitized factories and even digital agriculture. This is the fourth industrial revolution. The fifth industrial revolution\u2014the Cognitive Age, which brings human and machine intelligence together for sustainable growth\u2014is on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sooner we embrace it, the more prosperous we will become. This is why I am a staunch believer in the right to affordable and reliable internet. I believe that currently, everyone should have access to the internet. You may recall that four years ago, I promised Ghanaians that, if elected President, I would ensure universal and affordable internet access,\u201d the former President declared while addressing the media on Sunday, July 7.<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cMy promise still stands because my vision for a digital Ghana is as strong as ever. It is a vision that led me, as President, to deploy extensive fixed and wireless broadband infrastructure for reliable internet across our country. It remains an unwavering vision. We need to be youthful in mind and spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The NDC flagbearer also urged Ghanaians to support the youth: \u201cThey are our future, so let us help them build this future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a remarkable time in our history, a time when we must be bold, creative, and seize the vast opportunities that the digital world, particularly the digital economy, presents us. Based on this vision of a new, vibrant, digital Ghana, the next NDC Government will partner with local tech start-ups and businesses to launch a \u2018Digital Jobs Initiative\u2019 to create at least 300,000 skilled employment opportunities for the youth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImagine this: 300,000 employment opportunities for our youth! And this is in a field they not only love but often excel in. I look at my children, nieces, and nephews, and I\u2019m amazed at their digital skills, as I\u2019m sure many parents in Ghana are. So, I say to you, as I say to everyone, let these young minds thrive!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are our future, so let us allow them to build this future. It will be glorious, I assure you! All they need from us is our support and understanding\u2014and I promise all of them my full support and my heartfelt understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>starrfm.com <\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress asserts that the next NDC Government will collaborate with local tech start-ups and businesses to initiate a \u2018Digital Jobs Initiative,\u2019 aiming to create at least 300,000 skilled employment opportunities for the youth.
