“As a ‘grass root’ person, I am spearheading structural implementation that will ensure opportunities through YEA modules and partner programmes. Programmes including National Lottery Authority (NLA) E-kiosk initiative among others which will be taking off pretty soon in the district will be accessible to the youth”, he said.
Marvin Akonor disclosed this to Adom News when former Constituency First Vice Chair for NPP, Alhaji Adam Musah, some Akosombo Polling Station Zone ‘B’ executives and their Coordinators called on him.
According to him, the district can only develop when there is oneness among residents.
“In pursuing our developmental agenda, I will encourage us all to discard divisiveness and pursuance of individualistic interest. Rather, we must foster unity in our common pursuit of building the capacity of youth to achieve more”, Marvin added.

The delegation expressed gratitude to National YEA boss, Regional Chair of NPP, Regional Secretary and others who played a part in ensuring that a qualified candidate was chosen from the “grass root” to head YEA in the district.
