International Youth Day 2026: Opportunities may open the door, but preparation determines who walks through it – Antonio Asinyo

Youth Activist and former World Universities Debating Council President, Antonio Edem Asinyo, has called on Ghana’s young people to prepare deliberately for opportunities, saying ambition alone is not enough to bridge the gap between dreams and reality.

According to him, while a young person in Tamale may face different circumstances from one in Takoradi, Kumasi or Accra, their aspirations remain the same — quality education, meaningful employment, dignity, opportunity, and a voice in decisions that shape their future.“Our goal must be a Ghana where talent is not limited by geography, opportunity is not determined by background, and a young person’s circumstances do not become the ceiling of their dreams,” he added.
