LEAD: Minister for Communications and Digitalization, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful says her Ministry is seeking to empower on thousand young girls in each of the sixteen Regions with digital literacy skills for economic boost.
According to her, the initiative will also build a pool of female human resources that will improve the country’s economy.
“When we educate our girls in ICT, they must also be previewed to some of the gallant women in the space that making significant progress in the space so far as information Communication Technology is concern in order for them to know that ICT is not just about theory.” She said.
Ursula Owusu-Ekuful encouraged the girls to dismiss the belief that only men have the ability to excel in technology.
She also urged the girls to concentrate and put in effort to become innovative and successful in their future careers.
