Mahama Unveils National Youth Wing Secretariat with a Vision for the Future
In a recent speech delivered by the flagbearer of National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, the unveiling of the National Youth Secretariat was marked as a pivotal moment in the lead-up to the upcoming elections, just 8 months away.
Mahama emphasized the importance of this timely unveiling, recognizing the significant work that lies ahead.
The newly established Youth Secretariat, equipped with state-of-the-art digital tools, is set to play a crucial role in coordinating youth initiatives across all regions.
Mahama speaking at the event launch earlier this afternoon in Accra outlined his vision for the secretariat, describing it as the central hub for strategizing campaign efforts, particularly aimed at engaging and mobilizing young voters for the 2024 elections.
Beyond the elections, Mahama stressed that the Youth Secretariat would not cease its operations but rather evolve into a policy and strategy formulation center.
He announced plans to establish a separate Ministry of Youth Development, distinct from the current Youth and Sports Ministry, with a primary focus on creating job opportunities for the youth and fostering a thriving 24-hour economy.
Mahama’s vision for the new ministry extends to mainstreaming youth interests across various sectors of the economy, emphasizing job creation and collaboration with industries to boost youth employment.
He envisions a future where the ministry actively engages with businesses to provide more opportunities for the country’s young population.
As a promise to the youth of Ghana, Mahama declared that the NDC cabinet, post-January 7, 2025, would be one of the youngest cabinets in the nation’s history.
This commitment to youth representation at the highest levels of government underscores Mahama’s dedication to empowering the next generation of leaders.
The unveiling of the Youth Secretariat signals a new chapter in Ghana’s political landscape, with a clear focus on youth empowerment, job creation, and sustainable economic growth.
Mahama’s ambitious plans for the ministry reflect a forward-thinking approach to governance, promising a brighter future for the country’s youth.
