One of Ghana’s young tech innovators, Kofi Obo Wood, was chosen to represent Ghana at the just-ended Global Peace Summit held in Dubai from March 15-19, 2023 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
The Global Peace Summit in Dubai convened an assembly of the world’s most influential leaders to tackle the daunting task of establishing global peace.
Against this backdrop of strife and uncertainty, a young Ghanaian named Kofi Obo Wood was selected to represent Ghana at this prestigious event.
At the core of the Global Peace Summit’s mission is a call to mobilize young people worldwide to work towards achieving the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
By bringing together people from diverse backgrounds and sectors, the Summit aims to empower a new generation of leaders to create positive change and establish equitable societies.
Kofi Obo Wood’s selection for this honour is a testament to his exceptional contributions to peacebuilding and his commitment to leveraging technological innovation to advance global stability. 
As the Founder and CEO of Limitless Artificial Intelligence, a member of the MIT Global Technological Review Panel, and a recipient of the Roberto Rocca Award for Leadership Potential & Academic Excellence, Kofi has proven himself to be a leader of the exceptional calibre.
His expertise in artificial intelligence, agricultural technology, and financial technology, coupled with his passion for promoting peace and stability, make him an ideal representative for Ghana at this historic gathering.
Through his work, Kofi is contributing to meaningful discussions and initiatives aimed at finding sustainable solutions for conflicts and promoting peace.
Kofi’s participation in the Summit not only serves as a great honour for Ghana but also inspires young people across the country to pursue their passions and work towards creating a better world.
As the world confronts the looming threats of potential world war 3 and economic crisis, the need for innovative and effective solutions to promote global peace has never been greater.
Kofi’s participation in the Global Peace Summit Dubai 2023 is a beacon of hope and an example of the power of youth leadership to drive positive change.
Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana’s Department of Political Science, Dr. Joshua Jebuntie Zaato says the imprisonment of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, will have little meaning unless it leads to a broader crackdown on illegal mining.
In a post on his Facebook page on the July 21, 2026, Dr. Zaato said the judgment should mark the beginning of efforts to completely eradicate galamsey and hold all those involved accountable, regardless of their political affiliation.
He said the country must work towards restoring polluted rivers, protecting forests and ensuring that people implicated in illegal mining activities are prosecuted.
According to him, those the President has publicly acknowledged to be involved in galamsey should face prosecution.
He called for the prosecution of district chief executives (DCEs), members of Parliament (MPs) and senior political party officials who have been accused of engaging in or supporting illegal mining.
Dr. Zaato further urged the government to take decisive action to end the destruction of the country’s forests caused by galamsey.
He maintained that the imprisonment of Chairman Wontumi would only have a lasting impact if it results in a comprehensive and impartial fight against illegal mining across the country.
