A two-year national service obligation in the Ghana Armed Forces will be a strategic measure to accelerate national development. It will promote national security, character development, skill development, unity, infrastructure growth, career opportunities, and patriotism.

Security: Address security threats and cultural shifts

Skills Gap and Unemployment: a more practical method for deploying trade training, as well as abundant opportunities to practise and use skills.

Character Development and Discipline: reduce the sense of entitlement and mediocrity

Infrastructure Development: Let’s take a cue from the Field Engineers constructing rural roads.

National Unity and Social Cohesion: A Means of Mending the discord caused by Politicians.

Patriotism and Civic Responsibility: Our defining characteristics are FREEDOM & JUSTICE in poor condition.

I will name this strategy “Obrumankoma (NAVY), Odapagyan (Air Force / Space), and Oson (ARMY) growth.”

This service opportunity can be fulfilled on a part-time or full-time basis for two years under the supervision of the Armed Forces Reserves.

We are living in great times. Mobile technology is developing at a very fast pace. The proliferation of mobile phones has helped to bridge the technology gap in Africa. This trend will continue to rise and the mobile devices’ internet connectivity is following the same direction. Cyber criminals are always active and looking for vulnerable devices to exploit. Don’t be a victim.

Smartphones have become a very important business tools. No doubt these mobile devices have indeed enhanced both business and personal communication. Most features on a smartphones are hardly ever used. Experts suggest smartphone users in Britain mainly use their smartphone for browsing the internet, accessing social media websites, play games and for listening to their favourite music. Communication tools like WhatsApp are improving the way we communicate with our working colleagues and customers.

It is very common these days for a business to supply smartphones to employees to help them discharge their duties. Many employees are using their own smartphone to access their employer’s network to work, it is known as “Bring your own device” (BYOD). BYOD reduces business cost. There is no need for the organisation to purchase the mobile devices. Another benefit is, workers are very familiar with their smartphones hence it eliminates learning and how to use the device. The disadvantage of BYOD is business does not have control of the choice of device. The risk of infecting the corporate network is very high.
