  "account": "A recently published book detailing Ghana's cybersecurity development was showcased at the 15th United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice held in Abu Dhabi. Authored by former Director-General of the Cyber Security Authority, Dr Albert Antwi-Boasiako, the book \"The Republic\" offers a professional journey through Ghana's cybersecurity evolution and the creation of a model nation. The book, published in November 2025, chronicles Dr Antwi-Boasiako's career alongside the growth of Ghana's cybersecurity institutions, policies, and initiatives. It also highlights the contributions of public officials, industry professionals, and international partners to this process.\n\nThe book was selected for exhibition at the UN congress based on a recommendation from members of the United Nations Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (CCPCJ) community. In a letter to the organizers, José Antonio Zabalgoitia, the Chair of the commission's 34th session, praised the selected publications for their portrayal of courage, determination, and resilience, and their commitment to fostering just and peaceful societies. He also noted that \"The Republic\" would be a valuable addition to the congress' exhibition, promoting international cooperation in tackling public security challenges.\n\nDr Antwi-Boasiako expressed gratitude for the selection, acknowledging the collective efforts of colleagues, partners, and public service officials who contributed to Ghana's cybersecurity development. He described the book as a testament to the work they accomplished together, and was particularly touched by the honor of having his work recognized by the United Nations CCPCJ.\n\nThe selection of \"The Republic\" provided delegates with an opportunity to learn about Ghana's cybersecurity experience through the author's firsthand account. Upon completion of the congress, the exhibited copy will be retained in an Abu Dhabi library as part of the CCPCJ's historical collection, serving as a valuable resource for policymakers, professionals, and public sector leaders to learn from Ghana's cybersecurity journey.",
