Ghana will ratify and sign the United Nations Convention on Cybercrime this month, according to President John Dramani Mahama, which is a major step in the nation’s defence against online threats.
The President emphasised the value of international collaboration in protecting the country’s digital environment during his remarks on Wednesday, October 1, at the opening of the 2025 National Cyber Security Awareness Month in Accra.
“Ghana will make history again this October. President Mahama announced, “We will sign and ratify the United Nations convention on cybercrime.”
According to him, the agreement will improve Ghana’s ability to counter new cyberthreats.
He continued, “This treaty equips us with tools to investigate attacks, prosecute cybercriminals and protect critical information infrastructure.”
Every year, National Cyber Security Awareness Month is commemorated to increase public, institutional, and corporate awareness of the importance of safer online habits, especially in a time when technology plays a major role in socioeconomic development.
With this new development, Ghana will improve collaboration with other countries in the fight against cross-border digital crimes and bring itself into line with international norms for preventing cybercrime.
