By Sir Sam Jonah, OSG, KBE, Captain of Industry & Thought-leader Your Excellencies, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, we gather here today at a defining moment in our nation's history to share thoughts on the topic "How Ghana can successfully educate our population for the attainment of desired cultural values, peace and collective prosperity." This topic resonates deeply with me, as it should with every Ghanaian everywhere.
It speaks to the heart of what makes us who we are - our identity, our heritage, and our collective aspirations.
Ladies and gentlemen, before we get into the meat of the topic at hand, it is important for us to have an honest conversation on where we are as a nation.
The promise, and euphoria, that characterized Ghana's independence over 60 years ago has to a large extent, not been fulfilled.
