He also pledged to champion a youth mentorship and skills acquisition programme aimed at equipping young people with practical vocational skills to promote self-reliance.
“Our youth are our greatest asset. I am committed to leading a youth-focused mentorship drive that equips young people in Atwima Nwabiagya South with the practical skills and trades they need to be self-reliant and valuable contributors to our community,” he said.
The Atwima Nwabiagya South Constituency in the Ashanti Region is regarded as one of the NPP’s strongholds, with political observers viewing the constituency executive elections as key to strengthening the party’s structures ahead of future electoral contests.
