The youth have been urged to lead in the fight against illegal mining (galamsey) to protect the environment for the current and future generation.
The Founding Director for Environmental and Sanitation Studies of the University of Ghana, Professor Chris Gordon, who made the call in Accra on Wednesday said the authorities of the country who were presiding over the galamsey mess would soon exit the earth and it was the youth who would bear the brunt of the menace.
The member of the 1975 year group of Achimota School, therefore entreated the youth to lead the activism to curb galamsey.
The lecture, which was on the theme: 'Ghana's Death by Galamsey: Who Will Bell the Cat?' was organised by the Old Achimota Association (OAA).
