WA TO HOST INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY (PAGE 21)

THIS year’s International Youth Day will be hosted in Wa, the Upper West Regional capital.
The day, which will be on the theme: “Sustainability, our challenge, our future” will come off on August 12, 2009.
Briefing the Daily Graphic at Wa, the Upper West Regional Co-ordinator of the National Youth Council (NYC), Mr Mumuni Suleimana, said activities lined up for the day included a public lecture and inter districts cultural festival.
He said prior to the event, a regional youth dialogue forum would be held with the Regional Minister, Mr Khalid Mahmud, while a paper on investment in agriculture and rural development would also be presented.
Mr Suleimana was happy that the celebration of the International Youth Day would help erase the perception from the minds of people that the Upper West Region “has nothing good to offer”.
