addressing the gathering
PAG is a group of professionals championing African ideals. It intends, among other things, to promote African enterprises using music, arts and culture for socio-economic development.
It again aims to deepen ties between the African continent and the Diaspora while working towards the enlightenment of African men and women.
In line with these objectives, Mr Ras Appiah-Levi, Founding President of the group encouraged young people to “learn their history and rediscover themselves.”
He spoke extensively on the essence of preserving the rich African and Ghanaian culture and tasked musicians to produce songs that reflected our cultural values instead of promoting promiscuity.
The Roots Reggae Music Singer and Performer announced some initiatives PAG would embark on to help “redirect” the 21st century youth who, he believed, were going off-track in terms of their cultural identity.
Mr Ras Appiah-Levi announced “Musicians on Pan Africa Tour” project which he said was intended to foster friendship and unity among Africans across the world.
Present at the forum were Mrs. Fidelia Graand-Galon, the Ambassador of Surinam, Community Education and Youth Development Activist, Dr. Akosua Abdallah, and other traditional leaders and dignitaries.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
