A great leader 👏🏿

Commonwealth Youth Development Summit Organized by the Commonwealth Youth Council (CYC) at the Oxford University had us at a panel discussion to discuss youth development. Ghana’s approach to youth inclusion is anchored in a simple but powerful principle from our National Youth Policy: “Benefit for youth, involve youth together for a prosperous future.” This is not a slogan; it is a governance philosophy that shapes how we design policy, structure institutions, and deliver programmes. We recognize that inclusion is not an outcome it is a deliberate process that must be built into systems at every level. Youth Development must be treated with Urgency and not an afterthought, other Countries should learn from the case of Ghana ! #YouthPower

I was privileged to give an Expert Insight at the Continental Youth Symposium: African Youth at the Frontier of Technologies, Innovation, Sovereignty and Jobs in Digital Age in Tangier, Morocco on Skills Development Vocational Training Innovation ecosystems for the future of work Africa stands at a defining moment. We are the youngest continent in the world, and our youth are creative, connected and determined. But youthfulness alone will not deliver transformation. We must begin with the facts. Africa has the largest youth population globally, with roughly 60 per cent of our people under 25. That is an immense asset, and it is also an urgent task. It can be an assert or a ticking time Bomb Job creation is not keeping up with population growth. Simultaneously, technology is transforming industries faster than many of our education and training systems can adapt. If we do not align leadership, skills, and innovation systems, we risk deepening inequality and exclusion instead of unlocking our demographic dividend. The challenge is not simply unemployment — it is unemployability. Many young people have formal education but lack the competencies employers and markets demand. This is a three‑part problem: - skills gap— training that does not match market needs; - capacity gap — insufficient human and adaptive skills to navigate change; and - leadership gap — limited youth participation in policy and programme design. Addressing any one of these in isolation will not be enough. We must tackle all three together. Youth leadership must be foundational and not optional. When young people are engaged as co‑creators, policies become more responsive and relevant, interventions more practical, and implementation more effective. From our experience at the National Youth Authority, the starting point is to ensure that industry is not treated merely as a stakeholder to be consulted, but as a co-owner of the training process. This means engaging key private sector actors from the pre-design stage of programmes, through to implementation and evaluation. We work closely with institutions such as the Ghana Employers’ Association, the Association of Ghana Industries, as well as trade and artisan groups and the Federation of Professional Trade Associations of Ghana. These actors are not only consulted; they actively serve on technical committees and governance structures to ensure that training programmes are aligned with real market demand. In practical terms, this collaboration allows us to identify relevant trade areas, particularly in emerging sectors such as fintech, agtech, garment manufacturing, IT, and automobile services. Working together with the Commission for Technical and Vocational Education and Training and the Ghana TVET Service and private sector we develop competency-based curricula and certification systems that reflect industry standards. Another critical element is embedding work-based learning into training programmes. Through initiatives like the Government of Ghana’s National Apprenticeship Programme, trainees are attached to companies and innovation hubs where they gain hands-on experience. This ensures that young people are not only trained, but are also exposed to real working environments. Equally important is creating clear transition pathways. Through structured partnerships and memoranda of understanding with private sector organisations, particularly in the garment, IT, and automobile sectors, we ensure that these industries serve as both training partners and potential employers. The overall effect of this approach is very clear. It reduces the mismatch between skills and jobs, improves employability outcomes, and builds a stronger, more responsive national skills ecosystem that is aligned with the realities of a rapidly changing economy.

@o_ayariga Great great leader 👏🏿

Moving the Accra Reset from vision to action. That was what the ‘Addis Reckoning’ side event was about, from dialogue to delivery. Joined by fellow African leaders and global partners, we are building a new architecture for Africa’s future, one that aligns finance, health, trade, and technology into a unified direction of travel. The time for reflection has passed. Now, we commit to action: strengthening our negotiating power, recognising health as the foundation of prosperity, mobilising our critical minerals intelligence, and ensuring African talent is recognised globally. Africa has reached a turning point we can no longer ignore. #AccraReset #AddisReckoning

The President @JDMahama reflects on his unprecedented election victory, one year on. #ResettingGhana

Well done comrades.

The fight against illegal mining is complex and challenging. Illegal mining has so deeply ingrained itself in the fabric of our society that, despite the obvious damage it causes to our environment, entire communities mobilise and confront security personnel when they arrive to combat illegal mining in their areas. - @JDMahama #GJAAwards #MahamaThePresident

Very important week coming up. Tomorrow, the report of the August 6 Helicopter tragedy will be presented to the National Security Council. On Tuesday, the details of the report will be made public at a media briefing. On Wednesday, President Mahama will launch the "Nkoko nkitinkiti" programme in Kumasi. And then on Thursday, the 2026 Budget, which brims with far- reaching policy initiatives, will be read in Parliament by the Finance Minister.

JUST IN: Military sources have revealed that the report on investigations into the August 6, 2025 helicopter crash, which claimed the lives of eight senior government officials and military personnel, is ready. However, it has not yet been submitted to President John Dramani Mahama.

In 2007, the daily minimum wage was 19,000 (now GHS1.9) A ball of kenkey was GH₵1000 (now 10 pesewas) If you earned the daily minimum wage of 19,000 in 2007, you could buy 19 balls of Kenkey. In 2025 - daily minimum wage is GH₵19.97 Price of Kenkey is GH₵5 If you earn the minimum wage today, you can only buy 3 balls. While the minimum wage has increased by 950% in the last 17 years. Kenkey has increased by 4,900%. Economists here, is this my home economics accurate?
