The Chief Executive Officer of the National Youth Authority, Osman Ayariga, has appealed to the Christian Council of Ghana to play a leading role in restoring discipline, patriotism and moral values among young people across the country. Delivering remarks during a National Youth Month event organised by the Council, he said the church possesses a unique influence that government alone cannot replicate. He said rebuilding the nation’s values requires a united effort from all stakeholders committed to youth development. He explained that the objective was not punishment for its own sake but nurturing responsible leaders who could be entrusted with Ghana’s future. Mr Ayariga reaffirmed the National Youth Authority’s commitment to empowering young people economically and socially but stressed that character must remain central to national development.
