Chief Executive Officer of the National Youth Authority (NYA), Osman Ayariga, has called for greater attention to the health and wellbeing of young people as Ghana pursues its development agenda.
Osman Ayariga, the Chief Executive Officer of the National Youth Authority (NYA), has emphasized the importance of prioritizing the health and well-being of young people in Ghana's development plans. At the National Youth Forum held at UPSA on August 19, Ayariga stressed that the physical, mental, and overall well-being of the youth should be a central focus in policies and programs aimed at preparing them for the future.
He stated that Ghana's progress is intrinsically linked to the prosperity of its young population. Ayariga argued that a healthy and empowered youth would be more equipped to gain skills, pursue education, engage in entrepreneurial activities, and contribute positively to the nation's growth. He further suggested that any youth empowerment strategy should take a comprehensive approach, addressing not just employment and skill development but also the broader social and personal needs of young people.
According to Ayariga, consistent investment in the youth would help create a more resilient generation ready to lead Ghana's development in the coming years.
