Ghanaians YOUTHS cry out on EXACTLY what they want from the GOVERNMENT!
Following a tweet shared by Joyce Bawah Mogtari, a lawyer and Social & Gender Activist, some Ghanaian youths have voiced out what exactly they want from the Government. Joyce Bawah Mogtari's original tweet reads "Ghana’s population has a high youthful demographic. What exactly is that age group of people expecting? What is their view of the Ghana we want? Can all you young people here share some ideas with me please?"
A comment shared by Veronica Commey, (Sports; Writer|TV|Radio. BBC contributor|Ex FIFA|CAF Contributor) reads:
"1. A government that actually cares beyond words.
2.That creates the environment for opportunities if not equally, at least close enough to help people navigate themselves out of poverty.
3. One that isn’t only interested in enriching themselves at the expense of everyone.
4. Fix the healthcare system
5. Develop sports in a deliberate manner that take people off the street and empower those with talent
6. Have an appetite for fighting corruption at least
7. Invest in formal & vocational education
8. Prioritize maternal health
