President John Mahama has called on Ghanaian youth to stay away from drug abuse and other negative influences that could destroy their future and undermine national development.
Delivering his Eid al-Adha message at the Independence Square on Wednesday, May 27, President Mahama urged young people to embrace discipline, hard work, responsibility and positive values to enable them to contribute meaningfully to the country’s progress.
“We are bless to have the enduring example of our revered National Chief Imam Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, whose life continues to inspire all Ghanaians through his humility, compassion, simplicity, tolerance and peacebuilding. Let us emulate these noble virtues in our daily lives,” he stated.
The president further advised the youth to remain focused and avoid activities that could derail their ambitions and threaten the country’s social stability.
“I especially encourage our young people to remain disciplined, law-abiding, respectful and responsible citizens. I urge you to also avoid drug addiction. Our nation needs young people who are focus on education, skills, hard work, entrepreneurship and service to humanity,”
