Accra To Host The 6th Ghana-Nigeria Youth Summit

One event that has remained the most consistent intellectual Youth Summit in Africa is the Ghana Nigeria Youth Summit (GNYS). Over the past years, organizers have tried to bring together young people from these two great countries to discuss issues that affect the African continent and seek solutions.

The 6th edition of this prestigious Youth Summit has been slated to hold in Accra, Ghana on Thursday 25th April, 2019 from 3pm. The venue is the world class British Council Event Auditorium, Accra.

During a press briefing by organizers, the convener of GNYS, Comrade Barry Ndu once again called on all well meaning African citizens to do everything possible to be part of this great event that seeks to continuously consolidate on the good relationship between Ghana and Nigeria. He said that the theme for the event is 'A Prosperous and United West Africa: Need for a continuous positive Relationship between Ghana and Nigeria'. Comrade Barry reiterated his organizations belief that if Ghana and Nigeria can come together  in doing things that promotes unity and inter country business relationship, they would become a reference point by the international community in no distant time. He wondered why it is difficult to trade between the two countries. He expressed sadness on the challenges that Nigerian traders faces once in a while doing business in Ghana same way it seems difficult for some Ghanaian products to get approved easily in Nigeria.

He called for more collaboration and ease of doing business among these two great African countries noting that their relationship dates to pre colonial independence. He also urged Nigerians in Ghana to ensure they remain law abiding, focused and determined to achieve the positive reasons that brought them to Ghana.

Sarah Atanda, the organization’s Director of Logistics said that Ghana remains a peaceful country and has constantly offered great opportunities for young people who are willing to succeed. She noted that this year's event would be the best ever as every necessary plan have been put in place to give guests a massive event. She advised those who would be coming in from outside Ghana to notify the organization for pick up at the airport or border as the case may be. She expressed joy and excitement that the event has remained consistent despite lack of funding from government and organizations that prefer sponsoring beauty shows than supporting intellectual initiatives like this. The entire team used the opportunity to request for support from well meaning individuals that would help the organization put up  a spectacular programme. They used the opportunity to also commend Acada Magazine for their consistent free publicity over the years right from the inception of the Summit in 2014.
