Prof Hugh Keku Aryee, Vanuatu Trade Commissioner to Ghana, says the Commission is training a new generation of Africans in artificial intelligence to use technology in solving environmental, economic and social problems.
He said the training would help professionals, business people and workers, including farmers who can monitor soil health, predict rainfall and improve yields without harming the environment.
The Commissioner said this at the 6th Annual Conference of the Meridian Presbytery Men’s Fellowship of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG) on the theme: “Care for God’s creation; the Role of Christian Men as Agents of Change in the Church.”
He said the true stewardship of God’s creation includes empowering His people with knowledge, skills and opportunities to thrive in the modern world which had been in line with The Republic of Vanuatu’s philosophy – “work to live, not live to work.”
In a Keynote address, Prof Keku Aryee, said that philosophy had moulded their citizens into delivering community-based environmental stewardship, sustainable agriculture and engaging in renewable energy and climate resilient activities.
“This is what drives our Trade Commission projects as agents of change. We are training a new generation of Africans in artificial intelligence (AI) to empower them use technology to solve environmental, economic and social problems,” he said.
The training, the Commissioner said, would equip believers – young and old to use cutting-edge technology in business, ministry, agriculture and environmental space to harness innovation for the preservation of God’s creation.
“That is why we are prepared to sponsor an Artificial Intelligence (AI) training for the entire church at no cost to participants, valued at $250 per trainee regardless of the number of members who take part,” he added.
The training is part of works being rolled out by the Vanuatu Trade Commission under their AKL Lumi Project, a pan-African digital currency backed by gold that promotes economic independence, intra-African trade and reduces over reliance on systems that harm African sovereignty.
“Through ‘Hanypay,’ we make it possible for businesses and governments to trade in Lumi securely. This supports sustainable economic systems – a critical aspect of Christian stewardship ensuring fair trade and dignity for all,” the Commissioner said.
He said they would support any projects the Men’s Fellowship of the EPCG wished to undertake and would also onboard the Fellowship’s initiatives into their global project database to connect with partners locally and internationally.
“Through these partnerships we are creating systems that empower the Church to be a practical agent of change in society, fulfilling the biblical mandate in Genesis 2:15, to “work and take care” of the resources God has given us,” he said.
The Vanuatu Trade Commission in Ghana seeks to build sustainable trade and investments bridges between Vanuatu, Africa and the global market and promote eco-friendly economic growth that does not compromise the environment.
It also seeks to support projects that empower people through technology, innovation and financial inclusion. The Republic of Vanuatu is a Pacific Island country, consistently ranked among the happiest places on earth.
