Ghana suffers from shortage of ethical and responsible leaders, citizens – Ibn Chambas

Mohamed Ibn Chambas has said Ghana's greatest challenge is not a lack of educated people but a deficit in ethical and responsible leadership, urging educational institutions to place greater emphasis on character formation alongside academic excellence."Academic excellence without moral responsibility ultimately impoverishes society," he stated, warning that knowledge separated from ethical principles could become dangerous.

Delivering the second Mfantsipim Sesquicentennial Lecture in Accra on Wednesday, July 29, Dr Chambas observed that while the country has produced many highly qualified professionals, national development continues to be undermined by a shortage of leaders who uphold integrity, accountability and a strong sense of civic responsibility.
