Former President John Dramani Mahama has said that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will separate Youth from Sports Ministry if the party wins this year’s elections.
He explained that it is a youth and sports ministry
but over the years, it has concentrated mainly on sports, and even on
sports, the concentration is on Black Stars at the expense of any other sports.
The plan to separate it, he said will focus
primarily on Youth status in all sectors of the economy.”
The
flagbearer of the NDC said these when speaking at the unveiling of the NDC’s
National Youth Wing Secretariat and Campaign on Friday, March 29, 2024.
“We are going to separate Youth and Sports because
it’s a youth and sports ministry but over the years, what we do is that the
concentration is on sports and even on sports, the concentration is on Black
Stars at the expense of any other sports.
“So I’m going to set up a service for Youth
development. It will focus primarily on Youth status in all sectors of the
economy,” he said.
He added “It will focus on
mainstreaming youth interest in all sectors of the economy. And most of all, we
will concentrate on bringing on strategies that will create jobs for young
people and this Ministry will support the 24-hour economy.”
