African youth are ready to lead today, not tomorrow – Osman Ayariga
Synthesised from 2 Ghanaian sources
Chief Executive Officer of the National Youth Authority, Osman Abdulai Ayariga, has rejected the long-standing narrative that African youth are merely “leaders of tomorrow”, insisting that young people are ready to assume leadership responsibilities now.
Addressing participants on Day Two of the 2026 National Youth Conference at the KNUST Great Hall in Kumasi, he said the National Youth Authority’s message to young people was that “the action is now”.
He explained that the future remains uncertain and therefore young people should not be confined to a future leadership role when they already possess the skills, energy and ideas required to contribute meaningfully to society.
