President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has launched the high-speed internet service 5G today, November 1, 2024, in Accra.
Speaking at the launch, the President admonished users to use 5G technology responsibly and avoid actions that could hinder progress in the nation’s digital transformation.
He further urged users and regulators alike to remain vigilant against potential digital threats, ensuring the technology contributes positively to Ghana’s development.
“The journey ahead requires vigilance and responsibility. 5G is a powerful catalyst for shaping Ghana’s future and, with its powers, comes with a responsibility to use it wisely.
“We must address concerns around data privacy, cyber security, and responsible use to ensure that the 5G fosters unity and not division. The youth who make up the population stand to benefit immensely from this digital era,” he stated.
On its part, the company fronting this service, NextGen Infraco, stated that it stands ready to assist the country in leveraging 5G to drive critical sectors of the economy for long-term benefit.
The Managing Director of NextGen Infraco, Tenu Awoonor, in his opening remarks at the official launch, said, “With 5G, we can create a more inclusive society where no one in Ghana is left behind. Whether a farmer in Tamale, a small business owner in Kumasi, or a student in Cape Coast, 5G will connect you to the world and open doors to new opportunities.
“At NextGen Infraco, we are deeply proud to play our part in this transformation. We are not just watching; we are investing in the future of Ghana. We believe the 5G is not only a tool for innovation but a catalyst for growth, development, and empowerment for every Ghanaian.
“As we stand here today on the bricks of this new digital front, I want to remind us all that this is just the beginning. Together, we will harness the power of 5G to build a stronger and more prosperous Ghana,” he added.
