MS Janet Yaa Obido, an Assistant Civic Education Officer with the Kadjebi District Directorate of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), has called on the citizenry to participate fully in Ghana's development.She emphasised that development is a shared responsibility.She stated that every action, whether small or large, contributes to national development and that if we all rise to the challenges with commitment and action, we can build a nation, grounded in peace that offers hope, opportunity and a better life for every Ghanaian.Ms Obido made these remarks while addressing some seamstress and hairdressing apprentices in Kadjebi in the Oti Region.The engagement formed part of the commission's activities in marking the 2025 Constitution Week celebration, a flagship programme of the commission.She said that Ghana's progress will not come solely through big policies or foreign investments, rather, through citizens seeing themselves as nation-builders and that this can be achieved when citizens obey laws, protect public property, safeguard the environment, uphold justice, and foster peaceful co-existence.Ms Obido stated that these values, when embraced by individuals and communities, formed the moral and social foundation needed to secure Ghana's long-term success.She charged the apprentices to care for the environment by avoiding littering, supporting reforestation and conserving water and energy.Madam Alberta Humado, Proprietress Ahafia Beauty Parlor, Kadjebi, commended the NCCE Officer for the insightful education and pledged to convey the message to other mistresses.The Constitution Week Celebration is one of the flagship programmes of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE).
The week was instituted in 2001 to commemorate the country's return to constitutional democratic rule.Significantly, April 28, 1992, was the day the Ghanaian electorate voted favourably in a referendum that adopted the draft Fourth Republican Constitution which subsequently came into full force on 7th January 1993.This year's activity is marked under the theme: "Ghana's Future: Our Collective Responsibility". -GNA
