300,000 Ghanaian Youth To Receive AI, Modern Agriculture and Other Training- Ablakwa
Three hundred thousand Ghanaian youth are set to benefit from training in AI, modern agriculture, green transition, tech-startups, and biotechnology, according to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
This forms part of the breakthroughs from President John Mahama’s working visit to Japan and participation in TICAD 9.
Another project that will witness a positive impact is the Volivo to Dorfor Adidome Bridge across the Volta River.
According to the Minister, both nations have committed to immediately providing the additional funding required.
He also announced the Kumasi inner city ring road project to commence shortly.
In addition, he mentioned a new agreement has been signed with Toyota to expand its operations in Ghana and make Ghana its West African hub; a Groundbreaking space agreement signed with Japan to leverage space science for Ghana’s development; and Special cooperation anchored on the latest scientific research to boost rice production in Ghana and attain food security.
Ablakwa also outlined a US$100 million secured for new agricultural projects and an arranged strategic industrialisation partnership with Japan, as Japan considers investing a dedicated US$1.5 billion in Africa in the short term.
“It was a really proud moment to hear President Mahama articulate his bold vision for resetting and transforming Ghana during the two TICAD plenary sessions he chaired.
“Ghana is back on the global stage to inspire and strike strategic partnerships for our collective progress. Ghana-Japan relations couldn’t be better, 98 years after Noguchi sacrificed his life for the extraordinary love he had for our nation.”
