Dr Zanetor Agyemang Rawlings, the Member of Parliament for the Klottey-Korley Constituency, has charged the youth, especially delegates of this year's African Youth and Governance Conference (AYGC) to be ethical in everything they do.
She said, the youth must remember that human values made the nation special and making changes wherever they found themselves was the surest way of bridging the gap between those who considered themselves as having opportunities and vice-versa.
"AYGC is something the continent needs especially when there has been a vacuum of leadership.
"Is not just about infrastructure, it is about the people, the capacity building of one another," Dr Rawlings said this at the Banquet of the 10th AYGC held in Accra over the weekend.
AYGC is the convergence of a four-tier transformational leadership programme for leadership grooming, cascade of mentorship, community impact, and networking for African and Diaspora youth.
Organised annually by the Youth Bridge Foundation (YBF), a Non-Governmental Organisation focused on creating supportive platforms to challenge the creativity of the Youth, and to make available critical information and resources needed for total development.
On the theme: “Mobilizing Africa's Youth to Build a Continent Beyond Aid", this year's agenda had youth from 25 African Countries, 30 from the Diaspora and seven coaches from Canada.
Dr Rawlings observed that the delegates represented the future and it was incumbent on them to change the discourse and make impact in their countries following the grooming and knowledge impacted into them throughout the eight - day engagement adding that "Feel as one people and build a better continent, by looking to the medium and long term" she said.

Keep asking God to forgive your father for the killings in his coup, . I sometimes ask of what has become of the children of those who died because of the coup. You are now an mp. What about them. Where are they. God keep these people and protect them. I wish your father will make a statement to console them.
Listen to this lady, very intelligent and wise. If ndc has 10 of her caliber that party could survive. She never mentions her party in any submission but Ghana and only Ghana, she is a true daughter of this country and a patriot. Her behavior shows how she was brought up and what has been instilled in her from home to think of the country Ghana first. This lady is also young as the babies with sharp teeth in her father's party but not a single day or moment has she talked against anyone in Ghana or insulted elders. This lady carries herself as a real first daughter of this land, Dr. Zenator Agyeman-Rawlings I love you and your style ! somebody would have expected a child of President Rawlings to behave like Koku Anyidoho but God forbid, his children are so well brought up you just can't imagine that! Papa JJ well done! and thank you for the good nurturing of your kids which we can be proud of! i understand your frustration about the ill mannered of those babies with sharp teeth in your party who you describe as ***barred word*** and uncultured. Lady, Keep it up and never try to be like Valerie Sawyerr something in the forest,I never new that name Sawyer was something in the forest until i heard it from Jeopardy program in the USA and my mind tells me saw is a lumber hence sawmill! so no wonder Valerie Sawyerr behave as such!
