The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has touted President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s “significant commitment” to youth development in Ghana as one of the best on the continent.
According to the ruling party, the president has demonstrated “in words and in deeds” to improving the wellbeing of the nation’s youth.
“[The] NPP is hopeful that other African countries will emulate the good examples of Ghana,” it said in a statement to salute the continent on the 54th anniversary of the African Union (AU).
The theme for this year’s anniversary is ‘Harnessing the Demographic Dividends through Investments in the Youth’.
Accordingly, the NPP opines that no nation can make any meaningful progress without prioritizing matters of youth development.
It paid glowing tribute to the Union’s founding fathers including “our own Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Haille Selassie, Malcom X, Muammar Gaddafi among others,” asking African governments to “reaffirm their support and commitment to the ideals of the Union”.
“Finally, the NPP extends its best wishes to all Africans as we commemorate this historic day and also calls on Ghanaians in particular, to actively take part in activities earmarked by the Foreign Affairs Ministry to climax the day. Long live our motherland.”
