MP for Ablekuma West, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has revealed that she may not have married but for the services provided by Skype.
The Minister designate for Communications made this known when she addressed a query from Bernice Adiku Heloo, the Member of Parliament for Hohoe Constituency during Parliament’s Appointment’s Committee hearing on Wednesday regarding the specific benefits women could derive from quality communication services.
According to the Daily Graphic, she explained that technology improves long distance relationships and was a vital factor in her marriage.

“That is a tough one and at the risk of being accused of bias, improved access to telecommunications makes everyone’s life easier, particularly for the woman and so things that would have put us at risk previously you can now sit in the comfort of your home and do it if you have better data.
“It helps improves relationships too, I keep using this example that i probably wont be married today if it hadn’t been for Skype. Because my husband doesn’t live here and I live here but thanks to the wonders of technology we were able to sustain a long distance relationship relatively painlessly,” she said.
The outspoken lawyer married UK-based opthalmologist, Dr Samuel Owusu Ekuful on October 19, 2013 at her East Legon residence in Accra.
