Mr Charles Abani, the United Nations Resi­dent Coordinator, has urged the Ghanaian youth to reject politicians and individuals who would lure them with gifts with the intention of recruiting them for acts of violence in the December 7 Election. He also advised them against being used as agents of spreading misinformation and disinforma­tion, saying; "Verify every informa­tion you receive, don't be in a hurry to spread it." Mr Abani, who gave the advice during the third edition of the National Youth Day at the Pen­tecost Convention Centre in Go­moa-Fetteh, on Monday, entreated the youth to jealously protect the peace and harmony the nation is enjoying. He entreated them not to allow anyone with selfish ambition to manipulate them to cause mayhem in the country. The conference coincided with the International Youth Day celebrated on August 12 every year to draw global attention to youth issues and concerns, as well as en­suring equitable engagements and making sure young people's voices are heard. The event brought together youth groups, students, policy­makers, legislators, researchers, traditional leaders and diplomats to discuss ways to harness digital tools for youth empowerment.
