Ghana re-elected chair of African cybersecurity network
Ghana has been re-elected to chair the African Network of Cybersecurity Authorities (ANCA) for a second term.
The decision was made unanimously by member states during ANCA’s 6th meeting held in Rabat, Morocco, on 17 September 2025.
The country was represented by the Acting Director-General of the Cyber Security Authority (CSA), Mr. Divine Selase Agbeti, who will continue leading the network.
ANCA, established by Smart Africa, brings together national cybersecurity agencies across the continent to strengthen cooperation, share expertise and ensure Africa’s voice is heard in global cybersecurity discussions.
Under Ghana’s leadership as the network’s first chair since 2023, ANCA has adopted a five-year strategy and a constitution to guide collective action among member states.
Ghana’s re-election underscores member states’ confidence in its leadership and the country’s ongoing commitment to advancing cybersecurity across Africa.

Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Gbande, has warned party members against using social media to address internal issues.
According to him, the NDC does not run its affairs on social media, and members must respect the party’s structures rather than making pronouncements online.
Mr. Gbande explained that the party has a General Secretary, supported by deputies and a national organizer, who are responsible for managing its affairs.
He cautioned that individuals who ignore these structures and resort to social media risk creating needless distractions.
He further stressed that such members could be invited and reprimanded by the party’s leadership if the practice continues.
Mr. Gbande urged party leaders to focus more on the grassroots, especially farmers, and ensure that policies are explained to them in clear language they can understand.
He added that the NDC is not in crisis, dismissing recent rumors as baseless.
