Ghana: Agri-Impact Limited CEO urges greater investment in Ghana’s youth on International Youth Day

Daniel Fahene Acquaye, the CEO of Agri-Impact Limited, a leading multinational agribusiness firm, has emphasized the importance of increasing investment in Ghana’s youth to unlock their full potential.

He believes that with the right support and resources, young people can play a pivotal role in driving the nation’s development forward.

Mr. Acquaye shared these thoughts during an event at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) on International Youth Day, celebrated on Monday, August 12, 2024.

The Agri-Impact Group CEO spoke on the theme: “Revolutionizing agriculture through digital Innovations to create jobs for youth.”

“Let us remember that the power of youth is unparalleled. They are not just the leaders of tomorrow; they are the change-makers of today, and we must make the necessary investments to fully unearth their potential. Whether through advocacy, innovation or simply by sharing unique perspectives, they are already making a significant impact,” he said.
