” A lot of our young ones are have gotten jobs and others are signing huge contracts with multinational companies, ” he said in Akan ” They are here in Ghana and working for firms in USA, China and other countries.

His comments come barely a week after Vice President Dr Mahamadu Bawumia held a lecture at the Ashesi University about the successes of the Akufo-Addo government in the area if digitalization.

Bawumia touted their achievements without acknowledging the efforts of the previous government.

But Adongo believes the Mahama government deserves credit for the significant contributions they made in that space.
