Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has pledged to create more jobs in the digital sector if elected president.
He announced that his administration aims to generate 300,000 employment opportunities within the digital space.
Speaking to the media on Sunday, July 7, Mr Mahama emphasised his commitment to gender equality, promising that his administration would ensure fair representation of both women and men.
Mr Mahama urged Ghanaians to support his bid for the presidency, highlighting his plans for job creation and gender equality as key features of his campaign platform.
"My promise still stands because my vision of a digital Ghana is as strong as ever. It is a vision that led me, as president, to deploy massive fixed and wireless broadband for reliable internet across our country. It remains an undying vision."
"We need to be young in mind and in spirit. This is a fabulous time in our history, a time in which we must be bold, create, and take advantage of the huge opportunities the digital world, particularly the digital economy, offers 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 'Digital Jobs initiative' to create at least 300,000 skilled employment opportunities for the youth," he said.
