    It celebrated the institute’s achievements while outlining its future vision. Under Mr. Gowu’s tenure, the institute grew into a leading platform for ICT professionals, fostering collaboration between industry, academia, and government. In his acceptance speech, Mr. Amanfu reaffirmed his commitment to building on the institute’s progress.

    “IIPGH has made significant strides in shaping Ghana’s ICT landscape over the past eight years, and as we look ahead, our focus remains on empowering professionals, expanding digital literacy, and advocating for policies that drive technological innovation,” he said.

    Mr. Amanfu also stated that the institute would continue to collaborate with government, industry leaders, and educational institutions to ensure that Ghana’s ICT sector remained competitive and inclusive. The event also featured the induction of new members, reflecting IIPGH’s expanding influence in Ghana’s ICT landscape and underscoring the institute’s dedication to professional excellence and capacity building within the sector.

    Dr. Mark-Oliver Kevor, Acting Director-General of the National Information Technology Agency (NITA), stressed the need for robust regulation in the ICT industry. “The government is committed to reviewing ICT-related legislation to ensure professional standards, enhance credibility, and support innovation. “A well-regulated ICT industry will strengthen Ghana’s digital economy and create more opportunities for professionals,” he said.

    Mr. Samuel Nartey George, the Minister of Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovation, represented by Dr. Samuel Antwi-Gyekyi, the Ministry’s Director of ICT, outlined key government initiatives. These included expanding broadband infrastructure, the Digital Jobs Initiative targeting 300,000 jobs, and the One Million Coders programme aimed at equipping Ghanaian youth with essential digital skills.

    Dr. Antwi-Gyekyi also reaffirmed the government’s support for IIPGH’s initiatives, highlighting the institute’s contributions to cybersecurity awareness, digital literacy, and ICT skills development. He expressed confidence in the upcoming TICON Africa Conference, which will bring together over 600 ICT professionals from across the continent to foster collaboration and policy dialogue. Dr. Stephane Nwolley, ICT Chair at the Association of Ghana Industries, highlighted the critical role of artificial intelligence in Ghana’s digital transformation and economic competitiveness.

    He said there was a need for increased investment in AI-driven solutions, local data processing, and infrastructure development to position Ghana as a leader in the Fourth and Fifth Industrial Revolution.
