Osman Abdulai Ayariga, CEO of the National Youth Authority (NYA), has called on African leaders to emulate the youth-inclusive approach of President John Dramani Mahama. Ayariga emphasized that young people are prepared to assume leadership roles today. He highlighted Mahama's government as a prime example of successful integration of youth in governance.
During the 2026 National Youth Conference at KNUST Great Hall in Kumasi, Ayariga described Mahama's administration as a "perfect example" of youth inclusion. He praised Mahama for demonstrating what young people can achieve when given the chance, noting that African leaders should follow Mahama's lead to create more opportunities for the youth in decision-making and national development.
Ayariga urged young people to conduct themselves responsibly once granted leadership opportunities, as their actions could either facilitate or hinder future generations' chances at leadership.
