The youth of Ghana have been urged not to substitute hard work for the easy way of making money at the expense of their lives and the future of this country.
“There is no short cut to success in life, therefore, if you think that you can substitute hard work for success with “Sakawa” and other social vices then you have got it wrong,” the Western Regional Minister, Mr Paul Evans Aidoo, made these remarks at the annual Kundum Festival at Axim.
The minister said, “Your youthful years are indeed the opportunity you have to prepare yourselves for life’s journey and not for quick money that could lead you into trouble at the end.”
He said the youthful age was a golden opportunity for every individual to utilise opportuinties needed for a stable life.
The Regional Minister said if the youth continued the quest to make quick money at the expense of hard work then the future of the country would be in jeopardy.
“We are in the country which is sovereign today because of the ideals and dream of the people who were once like us, young, energetic, enterprising and patriotic,” he said.
Mr Aidoo said the youth constituted the future of this country, and as much it was important if they were given the needed guidance and attention to enable them to play their rightful roles in society.
He reminded the youth that they held the key to the future of this country, saying “your resort to deviant and easy way of making money would only lead you to a very uncertain future,” he said.
