GIMPA graduates tasks to master modern digital tools to be competitive

Nana Oye Bampoe Addo, the Deputy Chief of Staff in charge of Finance and Administration, advised GIMPA graduates at the 26th Congregation of Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) in Accra at the weekend to master the construction of digital tools in their fields of disciplines to be competitive in the field of work. She encouraged the graduates to leverage the knowledge acquired from GIMPA but stay alert to technology disruptions, stating, "Learn to build, not merely to consume. The world is shifting from mechanical thinking towards systems that run themselves, tracking performance, forecasting markets, and managing entire administrative functions on autopilots."

She also urged the graduates to guard their creativity, talents, passion, and originality, stressing, "Do not let a tool replace your thinking, only extend it as a support." Nana Oye Addo said no digital ambition survives without safety, underscoring the government's intervention to match innovation with protection. The cybersecurity authority has sustained operations against cybercrime networks, arresting scores of suspects in coordinated actions with the Ghana Police Service. The government has treated technology as a pillar of national strategy. Through the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovation, the country has launched Ghana's National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2025 to 2035, built on eight pillars from education to public sector deployment.
