Antwi-Boasiako is expected to speak on the evolution of cyber needs in West Africa.
“This gives a clear indication of Ghana’s direct involvement in global discussions on cyber governance and internet security issues and the country’s keen interest in ensuring that emerging developments are addressed locally,” he said ahead of the event slated for Friday and Saturday.
He said Ghana had made some successes in these areas.
“But we need to act more proactively in dealing with the risks.”
