The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, together with the Administrator and Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC), Tanko Rashid Computer, have undertaken a monitoring tour of selected One Million Coders Programme training centres in the Greater Accra Region.
The visit, conducted on May 20, 2026, forms part of government’s broader digital transformation agenda aimed at equipping citizens with digital and Artificial Intelligence (AI) skills.
The delegation visited the Accra College of Education Centre in Ayawaso West, the Gbegbeyise JHS Centre in Ablekuma West, and the Mamprobi Community Information Centre in Ablekuma South, where trainees are currently receiving instruction in various digital fields.
The programme covers areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics, Cybersecurity, Digital Marketing, Software Development and E-commerce, and is open to participants across different age groups.
During the tour, the Minister encouraged trainees to remain committed to completing their courses, reiterating government’s goal of training over one million Ghanaians in digital and AI-related skills by 2028.
He also highlighted ongoing international partnerships that provide participants with access to globally recognised digital courses and certifications at no cost.
Mr. Nartey George further disclosed that government is working with industry stakeholders, including the Business Outsourcing Association of Ghana, to create remote work and outsourcing opportunities for programme graduates.
Members of Parliament for the respective constituencies visited joined the engagements and commended the positive impact of the initiative in their communities.
Also accompanying the Minister were the Deputy Administrator of GIFEC and member of the One Million Coders Implementation Committee, Nana Akyaa Amoah-Amissah, and the Director of Corporate Affairs at GIFEC, Francisca Adjei.
