President John Dramani Mahama has inaugurated an 18-member Joint National Cyber Security Committee (JCC) to strengthening Ghana’s defences against cyber threats and enhancing coordination among security agencies.
The inauguration took place at Burma Camp during the official kick-off of National Cyber Security Awareness Month 2025, signaling the government’s drive to foster a safer and more secure digital environment.
Speaking at the event, President Mahama said the committee will ensure unified and proactive measures across intelligence and security agencies.
“Cybersecurity must not be fragmented. It demands unity of purpose, a clear strategy and disciplined education. Cyber‑crime ignores borders,” he stated, highlighting the importance of cross-border collaboration.
He also stressed the need for public education, urging schools, communities, and organizations to engage in programs that promote digital literacy and awareness.
The government is calling on all citizens to participate in Cybersecurity Awareness Month initiatives, aiming to build a more informed, resilient, and secure digital society in Ghana.
