By Ernest Best Anane
MTN Ghana has announced a US$2 million contribution to the Ministry of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations to support the Government of Ghana’s flagship One Million Coders Programme. The programme aims to train one million Ghanaians in coding and digital skills, equipping young people with future-ready competencies to participate in the digital economy.
The funding follows a commitment by MTN Group’s CEO Ralph Mupita and MTN Ghana’s VP Ebenezer Asante and Stephen Blewett during engagements with the Minister of Communications last year. The contribution aligns with MTN’s focus on digital inclusion, education, and youth development.
Stephen Blewett, CEO of MTN Ghana, said, “At MTN Ghana, youth empowerment is a critical priority. We’re creating pathways for young people to acquire new skills, embrace innovation, and access opportunities in the digital economy.”
The One Million Coders Programme is a key pillar of Ghana’s digitalisation agenda, aiming to build a strong pool of digital talent to support public-sector modernisation, private-sector growth, entrepreneurship, and job creation 💻.
