It would be the nation's information hub as well as data for Ministries Departments and Agencies (MDA) to prevent future misfortunes.
This was announced by Mr Haruna Iddrisu, Minister of Communications, when he inaugurated the nine-member Second Court of Governors of the Kofi Annan Centre for Excellence in Information and Communication Technology (KACE) in Accra on Tuesday.
The rest are Professor Ansu Kyeremeh, a Communication Consultant, Mr. Henry Kojo Agbai, Dr. Imoro Braimah and Mrs. Mary Tackie.
Mr. Iddrisu tasked members to offer strategic direction to the centre as part of government's efforts of bridging the digital gap to facilitate its development agenda.
Mr Iddrisu pointed out that the court had been mandated to institute policies that would enable the centre to complement and support postgraduate ICT programmes offered by the universities in Information Management Systems.
Mr Iddrisu said the court would be required to submit to government innovative proposals to enhance the service delivery of government machinery and contribute to the multimedia industry to enhance economic growth.
"The centre is tasked to produce highly skilled hands-on ICT Engineers network administrators, project managers and technicians to meet the growing demand in the market".
He challenged the court to develop policies towards the development of a local and external faculty to sustain the academic programme of the centre.
Mr Danquah pledged the commitment of members to work hard to achieve the set objectives.
