Edem (R) with an official of the Cyber Security Authority
Renowned Ghanaian artiste, Edem, has been officially unveiled as the Brand Ambassador for the Safer Digital Ghana Campaign, a bold initiative led by the Cyber Security Authority (CSA) under the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation.
The appointment was formally announced during a brief ceremony held at the CSA Headquarters.
In his acceptance speech, Edem expressed deep gratitude to the ministry for entrusting him with such a vital national responsibility.
He highlighted the importance of digital safety in today’s world, emphasising that the internet, while powerful and resourceful, also poses significant threats that affect individuals, businesses, and even nations.
“We live in an era where the digital world shapes nearly every aspect of our lives; how we learn, work, communicate, and express ourselves.
“With just a few clicks, we gain access to opportunities but also expose ourselves to cyber threats,” he said.
Edem explained that this campaign is more than just about awareness.
He said it aims to empower all Ghanaians, from school children to business owners, government workers, and everyday citizens to take an active role in protecting themselves and their communities online.
“As the face of this campaign, I’m not just here to represent; I’m here to advocate for change.
“I am truly committed to using my platform to promote cyber hygiene, encourage reporting of cyber incidents, and champion safe internet practices especially among the youth who are the direct consumers of my work,” he added.
He concluded by reaffirming his dedication to serving in this role to the best of his abilities and called on all Ghanaians to recognise cybersecurity as a shared responsibility and a national priority.
The CSA believes that with Edem’s influence, the campaign will reach wider audiences, fostering a culture of responsible digital living and securing Ghana’s digital future.
