In essence, digitalization is the use of technological tools for task completion. This lessens the stress that comes with completing a certain activity. Digitalization has advanced significantly since the internet was introduced because many nations were previously reliant on labor-intensive manual chores that could only be completed electronically. Ghana has also made the brave decision to integrate its operations with those of the digital sphere.

Dr. Alhaji Mahmudu Bawumia, the flag-bearer of the New Patriotic Party, is well-known for his excellent efforts to turn the nation's economy and entire nation into a digital module. With the introduction of several electronic hubs in recent years, this approach has advanced remarkably. Among these digital linkages are the newly released citizen app, e-pharmacy app, paperless port system, and final Ghana or ECOWAS card, which is currently the standard form of identity. The vice president in office has received a lot of recognition for his passionate desire to advance digitization.



One of Ghana's leading security analysts and software developers, Yayra Koku, posted a video on his official Twitter profile that I was able to intercept that highlights former president Mahama's positive contributions to digitization. In the video, Mahama is seen introducing the "E-Cabinet" platform, which was created in 2015 to replace the paperwork needed for routine administrative tasks. "The e-cabinet idea was not introduced at a ceremony hosted by HE John Mahama. He completed a number of IT projects, but he didn't think it was necessary to publicize them. He clarified, "One is the e-services initiative, which has been renamed to ghana.gov.gh.

I recently published an expose on the recently released citizens app, which is a rebranded version of the previously mentioned "ghana.gov.gh." I conducted my own study on the aforementioned topic online, and according to a Modern Ghana article, the former president introduced a number of noteworthy electronic platforms. These comprise, among other things, an automated tax register, an e-health platform commonly referred to as the LHIMS that is currently utilized in hospitals, and an e-workspace for administrative tasks. Use the link below to view the entire video he shared to support his assertion.
