Member of Parliament for Ketu North, Eric Edem Agbana, has touted Ghana’s commitment to youth empowerment and inclusion during his address at the International Municipal BRICS Forum in Russia.

Speaking at the global gathering of leaders, entrepreneurs, and policymakers, Mr Agbana said Ghana continues to demonstrate strong leadership in creating opportunities for young people to contribute meaningfully to national development.

“The youth are not a demographic statistic; they are our greatest national asset,” Mr Agbana declared, underscoring the importance of sustained investment in young people’s education, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

He said the Ghanaian government, along with development partners, has made significant progress in promoting youth participation in governance and economic transformation.

In a social media post after the event, the Ketu North legislator described the forum as “a great opportunity to connect with investors, entrepreneurs, leaders, and other changemakers from across the world.”

He stressed that his participation was part of broader efforts to position Ghana — and particularly Ketu North — at the centre of global discussions on inclusive development.

Mr Agbana further hinted at a forthcoming project for his constituency, inspired by conversations held during the forum.

“Keep this post,” he wrote. “One day, I will unveil a big project in Ketu North and tell you it started with a conversation at this Forum. God is in the story, and we are only warming up — work is yet to start.”
