Innovation, change critical for Ghana’s growth - Taptap Send Director

The time has come for Ghanaian and African youths, in general, to embrace change and innovation for the transformation of the country and the continent, the Growth Director of Africa for Taptap Send, an international remittance firm, Darryl Kwame Mawutor Abraham, has said.

He said the rate of technological and digital advancement across the globe made it imperative for the youth of Africa to accept the reality to buy into the concept of financial and other technologies, including digitalisation in commerce and all aspect of human life.

The event was also sponsored by Taptap Send.

The technology world, Mr Abraham said, was moving so fast that countries that hesitated in “boarding the train” would be left over and would find it difficult to catch up once it passed by and so Africa was at the crossroad of either jumping onto the train or forever remaining in the doldrums.

He maintained that it was to help accelerate the sustainable development of Africa and Ghana in particular that Taptap Send, which charged no fees for its services, sponsored and supported events such as TEDxAccra in the quest for the right antidote to get the continent to develop for the good of its people.
