Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will speak at the 12th graduation ceremony of the Accra Business School (ABS) in the Kempinski Hotel, Accra, on April 9, 2022.
The Vice President, who is the special guest of honour for the ceremony, will speak on the theme ‘Entrepreneurship and The Digital Economy: Challenges and Opportunities’ to about 400 graduating students and business executives.
The school will graduate students who have completed various academic programmes such as Master of Business Administration and MSc Accounting and Finance among others.
The school’s founder, Bishop Gideon Yoofi Titi-Ofei, said the Vice President has successfully led government’s agenda on digitisation and stressed that digitisation and entrepreneurship will play a key role in the country’s economic recovery from the pandemic.
He said Accra Business School has the mission to develop a new breed of global business leaders educated to global standards who can create jobs, increase incomes and reduce poverty. “That has been our mission, and that is why in our lecture halls we have a hybrid of industry professionals and astute academicians. The industry professionals bring industry to the classrooms while academicians take the classroom to industry,” he said.
The vice president was recently recognised with the ‘Outstanding Digital Transformation Leader of the Year’ award for championing the nation’s aggressive digitalisation drive. A citation accompanying the award emphasised his “priceless contribution to digitalisation of the Ghanaian economy and efforts to leverage on technology to improve service delivery in both the public and private sectors, and to facilitate rapid economic growth”.
