President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has called on Ghanaians, especially the youth, to harness the potential of 5G technology responsibly, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding data security and privacy. 



He made these remarks during the official launch of Ghana&#8217;s high-speed 5G internet service in Accra on Thursday, November 1, 2024.



The new service, spearheaded by NextGen Infraco, aims to leverage 5G technology to enhance key economic sectors and promote sustainable growth across the nation.







 While acknowledging the vast opportunities presented by 5G, President Akufo-Addo stressed that it must not become a conduit for cybersecurity threats or data privacy violations.



He urged both users and regulatory bodies to remain vigilant against potential digital risks, ensuring that the technology serves as a positive force for Ghana’s development. 



&#8220;The journey ahead requires vigilance and responsibility. 5G is a powerful catalyst for shaping Ghana’s future, and with its capabilities comes the responsibility to use it wisely,&#8221; he stated.



Addressing concerns around data privacy and cybersecurity, the President reiterated the need for responsible usage to foster national unity rather than division. 



He highlighted that the youth, who represent a significant portion of the population, stand to gain immensely from the advancements of this digital era.
