“Fundamentally, I believe that Ghana can do exactly what is happening in the developed world, in the advanced countries. I believe it is possible for us to leapfrog technology, and for us to do this, we must have this mindset of possibilities,” Dr. Bawumia said.

He criticized a mindset of timidity that he believes has held Ghana back, arguing that the country should not be afraid to pursue initiatives that have not even been attempted in advanced nations.

“We are always, you know, timid in trying to do things that are not even done in the advanced countries. We think, because it has not been done in the advanced countries, we shouldn’t even try, but we can leapfrog them in many areas,” he added.

Dr. Bawumia’s comments highlight his commitment to innovative thinking and his belief in Ghana’s potential to achieve greatness on the global stage, despite the challenges and criticisms he faces.
