Aseidu Nketia urges greater investment in Ghana’s youth to unlock demographic dividend

The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Aseidu Nketia, has called for increased national investment in Ghana's youthful population, arguing that the country's greatest wealth lies not in its abundant natural resources but in its people."This World Population Day, one truth stands out: Ghana's greatest natural resource is not beneath our soil; it is our people," he wrote, stressing that the country's future prosperity would largely depend on how effectively it invests in its human capital.

Mr Aseidu Nketia argued that the real issue confronting Ghana is not the size of its youthful population but whether sufficient investments are being made to equip young people with the skills and opportunities required to thrive in a rapidly evolving global economy.
