Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has been named among the 100 most influential people on the African continent by the London-based New African magazine.
The magazine credits Dr Bawumia with spearheading Ghana’s digitisation as a core economic strategy to solve socio-economic problems.
He was selected in the category of influential leaders, along with Presidents Paul Kagame of Rwanda, Mackey Sall of Senegal, William Ruto of Kenya; African Development Bank, President Akinwumi Adesina and Afriexim Bank President, Professor Benedict Oramah, among others.

“The Oxford-trained economist, former Deputy Governor of Ghana’s Central Bank and Vice President of the Republic of Ghana since 2017, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is spearheading Ghana’s digitisation as a core economic strategy to solve socio-economic problems, formalise and build a more inclusive economy, deal with corruption and to provide social services more effectively,” wrote the magazine.
