Development Economist Dr Frank Bannor has emphasized Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s vision for digital talent development as critical to Ghana’s competitiveness in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

 

In an interview on the Badwam show, Dr Bannor stated that Bawumia’s push to integrate digital technologies across various sectors aligns with global economic trends where innovation is essential for transformation.

 

Dr Bannor pointed out that under Bawumia’s leadership, Ghana could harness technological advancements for sustained growth and job creation. He noted that Bawumia’s digitizing banking, healthcare, and education initiatives have laid a solid foundation for future success.

 

He stressed, “We cannot afford to be left behind,” advocating for continued investment in digital skills and infrastructure.

 

Reflecting on past industrial revolutions, Dr. Bannor lamented that Ghana missed opportunities during the First, Second, and Third Industrial Revolutions but can learn from countries like India, which strategically invested in technology and innovation.

 

He argued that Bawumia’s plan to train one million digital professionals could help Ghana compete globally.

 

Dr Bannor also compared South Africa’s advancements in agricultural technology to those of nations such as India and China, which have benefited from skilled migration and robust government policies.

 

He praised the progress in Ghana’s rice production, citing reduced imports and improved self-sufficiency due to government policies.

 

He expressed confidence that Bawumia would build on these agricultural successes to enhance food security and boost the economy.
