Dignitaries And Members Present At The Event
Ghana’s Institute of ICT Professionals (IIPGH) celebrated its eighth anniversary with a leadership transition and a renewed focus on artificial intelligence and digital regulation, as the West African nation accelerates efforts to position itself as a regional tech hub.
Outgoing Executive Director David Gowu handed over to Richard Kafui Amanfu at a ceremony themed “Transforming Lives Through ICT: 8 Years of Impact and Inspiration.” Under Gowu’s tenure, IIPGH became a pivotal force in digital literacy and policy advocacy, bridging gaps between industry, academia, and government. Amanfu pledged to expand these efforts, emphasizing “empowering professionals and advocating policies that drive innovation” to keep Ghana’s tech sector competitive.
The event coincided with the induction of new members, reflecting the institute’s growing influence. Keynote speaker Dr. Mark-Oliver Kevor of Ghana’s National IT Agency stressed the need for tighter ICT regulations to bolster credibility and attract investment. “A well-regulated industry strengthens our digital economy,” he said, hinting at upcoming legislative reviews.
Government initiatives took center stage, with the Communications Ministry outlining plans to expand broadband access, create 300,000 digital jobs, and train one million coders by 2030—a bid to curb youth unemployment, which exceeds 19%. The ministry also endorsed IIPGH’s role in cybersecurity and skills development, while spotlighting the upcoming TICON Africa Conference, expected to draw 600 continental tech leaders.
Dr. Stephane Nwolley of Ghana’s industry association AGI underscored AI’s transformative potential, urging investment in local data infrastructure to harness the Fourth Industrial Revolution. “Without homegrown AI solutions, Ghana risks lagging in the global tech race,” he warned.
As IIPGH navigates its leadership transition, the stakes are clear: Ghana’s tech ambitions hinge on nurturing talent, regulating wisely, and embracing AI—all while ensuring growth leaves no citizen offline.

We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse In_dia’s ruling party BJP and In_dia’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping In_dia a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying In_dia its right in the world…
BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in In_dia is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from In_dia or pertaining to that country.
“The parasitic left-wing media and their bottom-feeding cronies have devolved into nothing more than freeloading scavengers, desperately leeching onto every possible news outlet to vomit their hatred for President Trump, Elon Musk, the GOP, and whatever shred of sanity remains in this world. If this portal ever falls prey to their filth—if any of their fraudulent, brain-dead propaganda worms its way into our automated news curation—then it’s open season on these slime-covered hacks. These sewer-dwelling propagandists, along with their PR lackeys and shadowy intelligence handlers, keep trying to smear us with their garbage. Like disobedient pets, they need to be dealt with. And dealt with they shall be—right here on Khumaer.us, the personal news battleground of Khumaer Bayas. Let’s expose them for the lying vermin they are!”
