During his tour of Koforidua in the Eastern Region, Dr. Bawumia spoke to a sizable gathering and underlined the value of mobile phones as vital instruments for a digitally advanced country. He explained that his decision to remove taxes on mobile phones was influenced by the fact that Ghana&#8217;s continuous digital transformation necessitates that residents have better access to them.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n&#8220;With the grace of God, removing mobile phone taxes is one of my goals as president,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We will remove the taxes so that the cost of mobile phones in Ghana will be cheaper,&#8221; he continued. To make mobile phones more inexpensive in Ghana, I would remove the taxes on them in light of the work we are doing, the digitization, and the young work we wish to undertake.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nAcknowledged for leading Ghana&#8217;s digital revolution over the last eight years, Dr. Bawumia expressed his goal of making Ghana Africa&#8217;s digital center. In order to prepare them for chances in the global digital world, he announced plans to teach one million young Ghanaians in digital skills.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Adomonline.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This blog is managed by the content creator and not GhanaWeb, its affiliates, or employees.
