The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Sam Nartey George, has assured employees of Ghana Digital Centres Limited (GDCL) that no jobs will be lost following the June 29 floods that disrupted operations at the Accra Digital Centre.
Addressing the Board, management and staff on July 13, the Minister said all employees would retain their jobs despite the damage caused by the floods.

“We are not laying off any staff of GDCL, whether temporarily or permanently, because of the flood. Every one of you is assured of the continuity of your jobs,” he said.
Sam George, however, urged management and staff to use the incident as an opportunity to reposition the company into a financially sustainable enterprise.
He said the government would continue to support the Centre’s recovery while strengthening corporate governance, improving operational efficiency and restoring long-term sustainability.
The Minister also challenged management to make the state-owned technology hub profitable, saying GDCL has the assets needed to become a successful commercial enterprise.
The Ministry had earlier reversed a decision by GDCL management to suspend the employment contracts of all staff after the floods, describing the move as unacceptable and reaffirming the government’s commitment to protecting jobs during the recovery process.
