5G must be used to shape our future; tap into it responsibly – Akufo-Addo to youth

President Nana Akufo-Addo has called on Ghanaians, especially the youth, to embrace 5G technology responsibly, emphasizing its potential to shape Ghana’s future and drive digital transformation.

Speaking at the official launch of Ghana’s high-speed 5G internet service in Accra on November 1, 2024, the President highlighted the importance of using this powerful technology to benefit the nation rather than to create challenges in cybersecurity and data privacy.

The 5G service, introduced by NextGen Infraco, aims to revolutionize key economic sectors and support sustainable growth through its advanced capabilities. President Akufo-Addo urged users and regulators alike to be vigilant against digital threats, stressing that responsible use of 5G can foster national unity and drive progress.

5G is a powerful catalyst for shaping Ghana’s future, and with its powers come the responsibility to use it wisely,” he stated. “We must address concerns around data privacy, cybersecurity, and responsible use to ensure that 5G fosters unity and not division. The youth, who represent the majority, stand to benefit immensely from this digital era.”

Known as the Fifth Generation of Wireless Technology, 5G offers significantly faster internet speeds, enhanced upload and download capabilities, and more reliable connections. Operating on similar frequencies as previous generations like 3G and 4G, 5G introduces major improvements in speed, latency, and bandwidth, with reports suggesting it can reach speeds up to ten times faster than the 4G Plus service.

As Ghana embarks on this new digital journey, the President’s message underlined the critical role of responsible 5G use in ensuring it contributes positively to the nation’s development.
