Cyber
crime limits our development
gains
Kumasi, May 19, Ghanadot/GNA - Dr.
Benjamin Kwesi Prah, Rector of Kumasi
Polytechnic, has cautioned Information,
Communications and Technology (ICT) students not to use their
expertise to engage in cyber crimes.
He said cyber crime was a social canker and could scare away
investments in an emerging economy like Ghana if drastic
measures were not instituted to
check it.
Dr. Prah was speaking at the fifth graduation ceremony of
the
Kumasi branch of NIIT, a computer training institute, at the
week-end.
More than 100 graduates were awarded certificates in
Software
Engineering, Network Engineering and Business.
Dr Prah urged the graduating students to collaborate with
other
specialists in the application of ICT to solve problems of
industry,
business, banking and finance.
He commended NIIT for being at the fore-front of computer
education in Ghana and urged government to partner the
institute in
developing programmes that are relevant to the nation's
development
process.
