Bryan Acheampong has pledged to donate 50 computers to students of the University of Media, Arts and Communication (UniMAC) following his participation in a public lecture hosted by the institution.
The former minister made the commitment during an engagement with students and faculty, where discussions focused on leadership, national development, innovation, and opportunities for young people in Ghana’s evolving economy.
According to Bryan Acheampong, the donation is aimed at supporting academic work and improving students’ access to digital learning tools in an increasingly technology-driven educational environment. He noted that access to computers and digital resources remains critical for research, communication, and skills development, especially for students pursuing media, communication, and creative arts programmes.
The announcement was met with excitement among students, many of whom described the gesture as timely amid growing concerns about access to technological resources on campuses.
Speaking during the lecture, Acheampong encouraged students to embrace innovation, discipline, and entrepreneurship while preparing for opportunities in the modern job market. He also stressed the importance of practical skills and digital literacy in shaping the next generation of Ghanaian professionals.
University authorities welcomed the pledge and praised the initiative as a meaningful contribution toward enhancing teaching and learning at the institution. They indicated that the computers would help ease challenges faced by some students in accessing digital equipment for assignments, research, and multimedia production.
The public lecture formed part of UniMAC’s broader efforts to connect students with influential leaders and professionals from various sectors to inspire dialogue on governance, development, and career growth.
Bryan Acheampong’s pledge adds to ongoing conversations about private sector and political support for education, particularly in the area of digital transformation and technological access for tertiary students in Ghana.
