Kojo Yankah has called on Ghanaians to embrace working anywhere in the country as a matter of pride and national responsibility.
The former Member of Parliament for Agona East highlighted how such an attitude could contribute significantly to nation-building, fostering unity and development across the country in an interview with the Asaase Breakfast Show (ABS), "I think it should be the pride of every Ghanaian to want to work anywhere in the country," Yankah said passionately. "All the big nations we admire today started as small clusters of tribes, and their growth came from citizens working together across regions. "If we want to build a strong nation, we must be proud to serve wherever duty calls." Yankah's remarks come at a time when many Ghanaians tend to prefer working in their home regions, where they feel a sense of familiarity and comfort.
However, he emphasized that overcoming this inclination is vital for the nation's progress.
Reflecting on his personal experiences, Yankah shared the challenges he faced while working in his own region. "When you work in your own district or region, sometimes you get a lot of pressure," he explained. "You know the region; you probably also don't know the region, but you pretend you know because you come from the region."
