Renowned author, businessman, and philanthropist Prince Kofi Amoabeng has underscored the need for leadership rooted in strong moral values to drive Ghana toward sustainable development.
In a recent interview on Channel One TV, Amoabeng highlighted the absence of value-driven leadership as a key challenge in addressing the country’s pressing issues.
“What we need as a country is leadership with the right values,” he stated. “When you see your problems and you want to solve them, you must create the people who will solve them. We are not creating the leaders who can solve our problems.”
He further outlined essential qualities for effective leadership, emphasizing the importance of integrity and responsibility.
“If you don’t have the right values with leadership, you are not going to benefit your people. Respect for everybody, respect for time, respect for systems, love for people, and being God-fearing—those are my values,” Amoabeng noted.
His remarks add to ongoing discussions about leadership and governance, as many Ghanaians continue to call for accountability and ethical leadership in the country’s development agenda.
