The Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Digital Centres Limited (GDCL), Christine Ansong, has lauded the government’s partnership with Google that is granting Ghanaian students free access to the Gemini AI app for 12 months.

Her praise comes after Communications Minister Samuel Nartey George announced that students can access Google’s Gemini App for free until December 9, 2025, along with 2TB of Google Cloud storage and free AI-certification training.

Ms. Ansong said the initiative is a “game-changer for young Ghanaians,” especially in supporting their academic work and building advanced digital skills at a low cost.

She noted that the extended access to Gemini, a powerful AI tool, aligns perfectly with the ministry’s vision to democratise technology and deepen digital inclusion across the country.

“This isn’t just about students using a cool app, it’s about empowering the next generation of innovators with advanced AI tools and certifications they couldn’t otherwise afford,” she stressed.

Ms. Ansong added that the government’s collaboration with Google builds on earlier initiatives such as the AI Research Lab and the One Million Coders Programme, both designed to fast-track Ghana’s ambitions to become an African hub for artificial intelligence. 

She urged all eligible students to seize the opportunity, register via the Gemini Pro portal, and benefit fully from the offer before the December deadline. 

According to Ms. Ansong, the move further demonstrates GDCL’s commitment to closing digital divides, promoting equitable access to cutting-edge technology, and preparing Ghana’s youth for the AI-driven economy of tomorrow.
