    List of The Top 15 Tech Hubs in Ghana

    The world is changing each day because of technology. For example, how we used to communicate with our relatives outside Ghana in 2000 is not the same as today.

    According to our older relatives and what we have read in some books and watched in movies before you could speak to your relatives outside in the olden days, you had to write a letter, post the later, wait for the letters to accumulate for it to be sent.

    Once the letters were sent, the person had to go and check his/her mailbox, read the letter, reply, send it, and wait for the same process over again. But now, with just a tap of a button, you can chat with your relatives outside for as long you want to.

    All these changes were made possible through technology. In Ghana, there are some institutions that are constantly helping Ghanaians and Ghanaian startups and businesses grow with the use of technology.

    Usually, we refer to them as Tech Hubs and in this guide, we are going to briefly look at some of the top 15 Tech Hubs in Ghana, their location, and you can get in touch with them.

    What is a Tech Hub?

    Before we delve into the top 15 Tech Hubs in Ghana, let’s look at some of the definitions of a tech hub.

    A tech hub is a physical space-a city, a suburb, or just suite of offices – which has developed to help technology startup companies succeed – IG Global

    A tech hub is a community that promotes innovation for technology-based companies – Seneca One

    A tech hub is basically a physical space, whether a city or suite of offices, that fosters innovation for technology startup companies – African Vibes

    In all these definitions, we can see that are repetitions of some terms, i.e., innovation, technology, startups, businesses. Simply put, a tech hub is any place where innovation is promoted for companies or startups in the technology space.

  • Vodafone Kasatenten: How to Enjoy Free Call After the 1st Minute

    Vodafone Kasatenten: How to Enjoy Free Call After the 1st Minute

    Vodafone has in these past years proved to care for their customers by providing several offers for them. Some of these offers range from data offers, SMS offers, and other voice packages and now Kasatenten.

    As a result of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, most people are now at home and use more data and call credits. Most of the people use them to work from home and also call their friends and loved ones.

    Many telecommunication networks have introduced several packages as a relief for their customers in this COVID-19 pandemic era.

    In view of this, Vodafone Ghana has also introduced the Vodafone Kasatenten offer to help its customers who use the call service to enjoy free calls after the first minute of their regular calls. They just need to pay for the first minute and the rest is free.

     What is Vodafone Kasatenten?

    The Vodafone Kasatenten offer which literally translates “talk for long” is a call package which was introduced recently by Vodafone, that allows subscribed customers to talk to their relatives and loved ones throughout the day; whether day or night.

    The only requirement is to pay for the first minute and enjoy the remaining minutes for free.

    After you register for the Kasatenten offer, the cost of the first minute for each call you make is GH¢ 0.30 (30 pesewas) after which you enjoy the rest for free.

    When you make on-net calls (calls to Vodafone numbers), you enjoy up to a maximum of an hour (60 minutes) worth of free call credit. Meaning, you will be allowed to talk to a Vodafone customer for a maximum of 60 minutes when you register for the offer and the preceding minutes will be charged from your primary mobile credit at normal charges.

    Also, when you make off-net calls (calls to other networks), you enjoy up to 5 minutes worth of free call credit after paying for the first minute. Likewise, with the off-net calls also, any other minute after the 5 minutes will be charged at normal call rates.

    How to Subscribe to the Vodafone Kasatenten Offer and Enjoy Free Call After The First Minute

    The subscription process is a four (4) stage process. The steps are:

    • Dial *135#
    • Select “Activate Kasatenten” (option 1)
    • Press “1” to confirm
    • A confirmation screen be shown and a confirmation SMS will be sent to you via SMS

    Now let’s take each step one after the other and explain briefly.

    Dial *135#

    As with all mobile packages/offers, you need a shortcode or USSD to activate it and with the Kasatenten package, the shortcode is *135#.

    Regardless of your mobile phone type, you can dial the short code *135# and send.

    Select “Activate Kasatenten” (option 1)

    After dialling the shortcode, a welcome screen will show with “Welcome to Vodafone Kasatenten. Pay for the first minute and the rest of the call is FREE.

    A menu with three (3) options will show up, you need to select option 1 i.e. Activate Kasatenten. The remaining options are not relevant in this context.

    Press “1” to confirm

    Once you select the option 1 from the welcome menu, a confirmation menu will be shown for you to confirm your subscriptions.

    In case you agree to the terms that will be shown, then Press 1 on your phone and send. Otherwise, press 2 to cancel the subscription.

    Please note that at this moment you haven’t subscribed yet and therefore any cancellation is not going to cost you anything.

    A confirmation screen be shown and a confirmation message will be sent via SMS

    When you’re done with your selection and you decide to continue, after pressing ‘1’ a confirmation screen will be shown indicating whether your subscription was successful or not.

    Additionally, a confirmation message will be sent to you via SMS.

    What Are The Limitations?

    As the famous Chinese “yin-yang” symbol portrays, there’s no good without a bit of bad in it. Likewise, the Vodafone Kasa Tenten offer has its own limitations.

    When you subscribe for the Kasa Tenten offer, you cannot subscribe to any other bundle hence, cannot enjoy the benefits of other bundles.

    But, you can subscribe to the Kasatenten Offer and still activate data, SMS and IDD packages without any interruptions.

    Who is eligible for Kasatenten?

    The Kasatenten offer is available to all new and old customers of Vodafone. Therefore, if you are not on Vodafone but interested in the Kasatenten Offer, you can visit any Vodafone office, outlet or vendor nationwide with a valid National ID to buy a new sim card and enjoy this offer.

    Conclusion

    The introduction of the Vodafone Kasatenten is not the first of its kind in Ghana though, but it’s the first time Vodafone is bringing such offer onboard. It replicates MTN’s Nkomode Offer.

    Considering the cost of call credits nowadays, the introduction of this offer is a good one, as it’s going to reduce the burden on other networks. The only concern people have raised is the fact that the period for the off-net calls is shorter and should be extended.

    We’re all waiting for a response from Vodafone Ghana but until then, we have to enjoy what we have at the moment.

  • Opinion: Importance of ICT in Ghana’s Education System

    Opinion: Importance of ICT in Ghana’s Education System

    It is said that the future of every country depends on its youth and that education is the key to success. If these two (2) factors are what will cause a country to move forward, then what can be done to merge these two in order to make Ghana the best in Africa?

    For several years, the attention has shifted from ICT to TVET (Technical/Vocational Education and Training) in Ghana. Most people in high places are of the view that giving more attention to TVET is the way forward for Ghana but in this technology age, this is highly debatable.

    Looking at some of the biggest and most advanced countries in the world, you will realize that most of them have focused more attention on ICT instead of TVET. Of course, TVET was the way forward some few years ago, but now most of the jobs that people with TVET skills were doing can now be done by people with ICT and little or no TVET background.

    For example, some decades ago, car assembling plants were operated mainly by humans and little computers. During this period, people were TVET skills were the ones who were controlling the market. Fast forward to 2022, with the introduction of Artificial Intelligence and other technological advancements, you will agree with me that most companies are now looking for people with ICT backgrounds than TVET.

    This argument in no way considers TVET as unimportant, but on the scale of preference ICT comes before TVET and that is a fact. This opinion guide is going to discuss some of the importance of ICT in Ghana’s education system.

    What is ICT?

    Before I delve deep into the nitty-gritty of this whole discussion, I think is essential for us to explain what ICT is in the first place. ICT is an abbreviation for Information and Communication Technology.

    Generally, there is no specific definition for ICT but it can be defined as “all the devices, networking components, applications, and systems that combined allow people and organizations (i.e., businesses, non-profit agencies, governments, and other enterprises to interact in the digital world.” – Tech Target

    Mostly, ICT is used interchangeably with IT (Information Technology) but there is a clear distinction between the two. IT is a sub-component of ICT whereas ICT is the broad umbrella that covers other subcomponents.

    What Are The Components Of ICT?

    The field of ICT is a fast-growing space and as such, develops as time progresses. This makes it a bit difficult to list all its components since it keeps growing day in and day out.  But basically, the main components of ICT are Software, Cloud Computing, Internet Access, Data, Communications Technology, Transactions, and Hardware.

    Software

    The software component of ICT involves all the applications and intangible components of the computer system. It is generally classified as applications software and system software. Application software includes all the application programmes you could think of like WhatsApp, Facebook, etc. while system software includes the software that enables a computer system to operate like Android, iOS, Windows, etc.

    Hardware

    What are you using to read this article right now? Yes, your answer is an example of a hardware device. Hardware is simply defined as the physical and tangible components of a computer. For example, mobile phone, laptop, mouse, tablet, monitor, televisions, and every other tangible computer device you can think of.

    Data

    Data is usually defined as an unprocessed fact or figure. But this is for people who are now entering the ICT industry. Once you gain much insight, you will find out that almost everything in this world is data. It is the same data that enables the customs officers at the airport to verify that indeed you are the bearer of the passport since your data is stored.

    Importance of ICT in Ghana’s Education System

    According to Swarts (2006), ICTs can be powerful, essential tools for learning: understanding, interpreting and communicating about the real world OR they can be black holes into which we pour our money”. Literally, what this means is that although investing in ICT is a good thing, it could possibly be an avenue for spending money without any good result.

    Yeah, this is true, investing in ICT can be costly and in the early stages can be a bit complicated especially for a country like Ghana where there are several schools in the remote areas. But if we look at it from that angle, then we are not going to invest in anything at all.

    When making an investment for a country, the main goal should be the end results and not the early stages. Obviously, everything in this world is difficult but is not a reason not to do anything. As a child, learning how to walk for difficult but you pulled through and your parents were encouraging you because they were seeing into the future. That’s why now walking is easy for you.

    Ghana gained independence several years ago together with some other countries like Malaysia and Singapore but when you compare the education systems in these countries you will realize that Ghana is lagging behind.

    The COVID-19 pandemic was a wake-up call for the Ghana Education system and the introduction of ICT. As students in other countries were enjoying a smooth transition to the virtual classrooms, students in Ghana were sitting at home doing nothing.

    According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) when ICT is effectively invested into the education system in Ghana, it can:

    • Provide multiple avenues for professional development of both pre-service and in-service teachers, especially through distance education;
    • Facilitate improved teaching and learning processes;
    • Widen the traditional sources of information and knowledge;
    • Reach student population outside traditional education system;
    • Increase opportunities for more student-centered pedagogical approaches;
    • Promote inclusive education by addressing inequalities in gender, language, disability;
    • Provide for flexibility of delivery, etc.

    To add to this, ICT education is more of skill-based learning than traditional learning courses. This way, open completion of school students will have a skill that they can look to find a job in today’s digital world rather than add to the list of employed graduates.

    What’s The Way Forward

    Ghana gained independence over 60 years ago and still, it is lacking some of the basic developments it deserves. Every time we talk about developments in Ghana, the attention is centered on the fact that we have no money, but instead of looking for sustainable ways to generate the money here, we are always consulting to borrow.

    ICT is the reason why some of the biggest countries in the world are what they are today. Ghana can also become big if only we are willing to invest at the right places. There are several consultants available to help Ghana improve its ICT education.

    Government can partner with these consultants and agencies to make this happen. If we are able to do this, Ghana will be ranked among the top countries in the next 10 to 20 years.  

  • AirtelTigo Customer Care Number; Social Media & How To Reach Them

    AirtelTigo Customer Care Number; Social Media & How To Reach Them

    The downfall of many businesses is the poor quality of customer care service they provide for their customers and prospective customers. Because of this, it is very essential for every company to focus more attention on their customer care services rather than just selling their products to them.

    If you continue selling to your customers without looking at their needs and challenges through customer care, you will end up losing all your customers. Since AirtelTigo is one of the biggest telecommunications networks in Ghana and has a fair share of the market, they have seen the need to provide customer care services for their customers.

    A customer care service representative acts as a liaison, provide product/services information, answer questions, and resolve any emerging problems that customers might face with accuracy and efficiency. The main goal is to provide customers with information to enable their smooth usage of the network.

    In this article, we are going to show you everything you need to know about the AirtelTigo customer care number; their social media, and how to reach them.

    What is The Meaning of Customer Care?

    According to an article written by Blake Morgan, a senior contributor on Forbes, “customer care means how well customers are taken care of while they interact with a brand. She further added that customer care is actually caring for customers, listening to their needs, and finding the right solution, and sometimes involves building an emotional connection with the customer “on a professional basis”.

    What this simply means is that the customer care department of any company is tasked with the sole purpose of making sure that customers are cared for. This means whenever a customer calls the customer care number, his or her worries must be resolved at the end of the call. Without this, the company is likely to fall into a pit.

    AirtelTigo Customer Care Number & Social Media

    In relation to AirtelTigo, the customer care department is the department that is in charge of making sure that every customer’s troubles or worries are resolved for them whenever they reach them for such assistance or inquiry.

    There are several platforms you can interact with AirtelTigo customer care. You can mainly reach them via phone or on all the major social media platforms. Below are the exact details of each platform.

    • Instagram: @airteltigoghana
    • Twitter: @airteltigoghana
    • WhatsApp: 0277551000

    How To Reach AirtelTigo Customer Care

    The customer care unit of AirtelTigo can be reached on all the platforms and the usernames and numbers provided above. To make sure that you are interacting with the right account. Be on the lookout for verified accounts on Facebook and Instagram.
