The presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has reiterated that, should he win in 2024, he will introduce software applications and coding to one million young Ghanaians.

Speaking at an event in Kwahu Mpraeso on Saturday, March 30, 2024, after an Easter health walk, Bawumia reaffirmed this commitment, highlighting the role technology will play in defining the future and the need to take use of its benefits.

Highlighting the pivotal role of the youth in driving technological advancement, he stated that “The future is technology, and the youth of this country are important to drive what we want to do in technological advancement.

“That is why I have said we will train about 1 million young Ghanaians in coding and software applications under my presidency.”

“A vote for me is a vote for bold solutions. And a vote for my opponent is a vote for old solutions. I am coming with new ideas and bold solutions to move our country forward. As I have said, I am coming with a new tax system which will bring a flat tax rate and also grant tax amnesty to businesses and individuals,” he stated.
