President Mahama urged to empower the youth to drive economic growth

Business Data Analyst and Founder of Greatness In You, a non-profit organisation based in Las Vegas, USA, Kwabena Kesse, is asking President John Dramani Mahama to support Ghanaian youth to drive economic growth.

According to him, government should explore various opportunities in entrepreneurship and technology to create more jobs in Ghana.

He, however, urged President Mahama to work collectively with Ghanaians in the diaspora to aid in the creation of innovative ideas for solutions to local problems.

“The youth of Ghana are our greatest asset. Build an economy that offers them opportunities to thrive, not just survive. Invest in education, entrepreneurship, and technology to harness their potential and drive a brighter future.”

“The diaspora holds a wealth of expertise, innovation, and passion. These accomplished Ghanaians have proven their mettle globally and they are eager to contribute to the development of our homeland. Establish channels for collaboration between these professionals and local talent to ignite a renaissance of growth and innovation”, he said.

He further said President Mahama’s appointees should not be done based on political affiliations but rather competence.

Kwabena Kesse, however, called for an end to corruption by asking President Mahama to ensure there is transparency in government operations

“Surround yourself with competent, visionary, and patriotic individuals. The time for appointing party loyalists and opportunists must end. We need leaders who prioritise Ghana above their own interests. Those who can inspire trust and deliver results.”

“Corruption remains a cancer in our society. This term must be defined by your unwavering commitment to transparency, accountability, and integrity. Let this be the legacy that defines your presidency, a government that does not just talk about fighting corruption but eradicates it,” he stressed.
