NPP is focusing on fourth industrial revolution — Bawumia

Speaking at the 30th Anniversary of NPP-USA, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), emphasized the party's commitment to preparing Ghana for the challenges and opportunities of the fourth industrial revolution.

He addressed supporters and made several notable statements below:

Dr. Bawumia on Digitalization and Opposition Propaganda:

"The fundamental instrument for any country for the full participation of the fourth industrial revolution is digital identity which brought about the Ghana card with about 17.6 million citizens being registered on the Ghana card and the unique identification of the Ghana card is helping us to deal with corruption in the area of ‘Ghost’ workers. The NPP government is focused on how to prepare Ghana for the fourth industrial revolution and therefore will not be deterred by the NDC’s propaganda."

Dr. Bawumia on NPP's Track Record:

"The NPP's track record is unmatched, and the NDC has nothing to show throughout its regime. We saw how the economic growth collapsed when they took over from President Kufour coming down to 3.4% from over 8% that they inherited. We saw low agricultural, industrial growth and an economy that did not face crises such as COVID-19 and the Ukraine crisis but they had to cancel teacher training allowances, Nurse training allowances and they could not think of how to implement Free Senior High School."

Dr. Bawumia on NPP's Performance:
"We have done better than the NDC when you talk about performance because we have doubled agriculture growth rate, we have performed higher in industry growth, when they were creating unemployment we are creating jobs of over 2.1 million, 1.2 million jobs in the public sector and 975,000 jobs in the private sector."

Dr. Bawumia's statements underscored the NPP's determination to pursue its agenda despite challenges, and focus on driving economic growth and job creation in Ghana.
