Dr Cadman Mills, an economist and brother of former President John Evans Atta Mills, has criticised Bishop Samuel Owusu, Senior Pastor of the Pottersville Church, over a statement the pastor made regarding how much money a 25-year-old should have in their bank account.
Speaking on Onua TV on Thursday, May 1, 2025, Bishop Samuel Owusu stated, "At the age of 25 years, you should have at least GH¢25,000 in your bank account." The pastor's comment has sparked mixed reactions from the public.
While some agree that young people can work and be financially secure by age 25, others argue that expecting a Ghanaian youth to have GH¢25,000 at that age is unrealistic.
Commenting on the issue via the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, Dr Cadman Mills, a former World Bank Macroeconomic Sector Manager, strongly disagreed with the pastor's remarks and questioned the basis of his assertion.
