On International Youth Day, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has said that he thinks a lot about the many young Ghanaians he meets across the country.
He says he sees students, artisans, young professionals, entrepreneurs, farmers and those still searching for opportunities.
The circumstances of the Ghanaian youth may be different, but the aspirations are often the same, Dr Bawumia said.

He said the youth desire to find decent jobs, build something of their own, live with dignity and look to the future with confidence.
“I know these hopes have been tested. Jobs are not easy to find, the cost of starting and sustaining a business is high, and too many young people feel uncertain about what lies ahead,” Dr Bawumia wrote on Facebook to mark the occasion.
“But I remain convinced that Ghana’s greatest strength is the talent and determination of our young people. Our responsibility is to make sure opportunity keeps pace with their ambition.
“Different contexts, common aspirations and a shared belief that Ghana can be a place where young people build the future they want,” the former Vice President added.
