Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), has announced a plan to train approximately one million young Ghanaians in coding and software applications if he wins the 2024 presidential election. He made this commitment while addressing a gathering in Kwahu Mpraeso on Saturday, March 30, following a special Easter health walk.
Dr. Bawumia emphasized the importance of technology in shaping the future and highlighted the role of Ghanaian youth in driving technological advancements. “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 one million young Ghanaians in coding and software applications under my Presidency,” he stated.
In addition to the training program, the NPP flagbearer pledged to implement bold decisions if elected, including introducing a new tax system. “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 promised.
Dr. Bawumia called on NPP supporters to work together diligently to secure victory in the presidential elections and ensure a parliamentary majority for the party.
