About Me
A Technologist Who Leads, Teaches and Serves.
I'm Abubakar Issaka, a tech and cybersecurity professional with over twelve years of experience helping Ghanaian institutions run on secure, reliable technology. For nearly a decade at the Ghana Co-operative Credit Union Association (CUA-GH), I grew the Cusoft banking solution from 125 to 212 credit unions, led deployments nationwide, and turned data from 500+ credit unions into insight for management, the Bank of Ghana and development partners.
Since 2021 I have served as President of the Cyber Security Expert Association Ghana (CSEAG), working with the Cyber Security Authority and international partners to strengthen Ghana's cyber ecosystem. My roots are in community service, from campus radio in Wa to an award-winning counselling show on Radio Waa, and that's why I believe technology only matters when it serves people.
