He noted that the programme sends a strong message of confidence to Ghanaian youth and the global community about the country’s readiness to shape the future of technology.
“We are saying to our youth, to our communities, to the continent and to the world: the future is here—and we will be part of shaping it,” he added.
President Mahama reiterated that the One Million Coders Programme is not just a campaign promise delivered, but a strategic component of the broader Reset Ghana Agenda.
“The One Million Coders Programme (OMCP) is not just a fulfilled campaign promise. It is a strategic pillar of our Reset Ghana Agenda, designed to empower Ghanaians with digital skills critical for 21st-century life and work,” he stated.
He further stressed the importance of investing in people and technology to build a resilient, innovation-driven economy.
“It is an intentional move toward building a knowledge-based, innovation-driven economy, one where our greatest resource—our people—are equipped to create solutions, generate jobs, and compete globally,” the President declared.
So far, the programme has received an overwhelming 91,000 applications, marking a major milestone in President Mahama’s digital transformation agenda and signaling widespread interest in Ghana’s tech-driven future.
