Youth told to focus on true meaning of life
Young student leaders have been urged to deploy time, effort and persistence in their journey towards a successful leadership.
According to Professor Pikay Richardson, Visiting Senior Fellow, Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, shortcuts to success often leads to regret and failure.
He was speaking at the ‘Lead Your Self National Youth Leadership Conference 2025’ organised by the David Douglas Leadership Forum (DDLF), a non-profit organisation at Adisadel College, Cape Coast.
It was on the theme; ‘‘Ethical Leadership and Decision Making, Developing Personal Leadership Skills.’’
Professor Richardson cautioned the students not to chase material things in the wake of social media trends but focus on the true meaning of life, which is a life of decency and integrity and ensure that they leave behind a positive legacy for others to replicate.
Present at the conference were students and teachers of Ghana National College, Mfantsipim School, Adisadel College, Mfansteman Girls and St. Augustine’s College.
In his welcome address, David Douglas Tengey, Executive Director of DDLF stated that the future of Ghana and the world as a whole lies in the youth.
He noted that, ‘‘we invest in the future by equipping you with the skills, values and vision necessary to lead with integrity, courage and purpose.’’
He added that events reflect the pressing need of our time which are self-awareness, resilience, collaboration, critical thinking and ethical leadership.
‘’These are not just professional skills; they are life skills and they will determine how you navigate challenges, inspire change and leave your mark on the world.
Speakers and panelists at the event were Dr Mike Amofa Dankwa, Kobby Kyei Media, Dr Kaprece James, and Bridgars Awonor.

The Ghana Police Service has arrested three (3) suspects in connection with a case of possession of narcotic drugs and engaging in prohibited drug-related activities within the Accra metropolis.
On April 10, 2026, the Special Operations Assistant to the Inspector General of Police received intelligence that a group of individuals were planning to engage in the sale of suspected narcotic drugs at Dzorwulu in Accra.
A surveillance operation was mounted and on 11th April 2026, a Police team proceeded to the area and arrested two suspects, Bright Ayivor and Ifeanyi Ijeoba.
The suspects were found in possession of twenty-two (22) compressed substances suspected to be cocaine, which were being prepared for sale to a prospective buyer.
Further interrogation of the suspects led to the identification of a third suspect, Kwabena Botwe as a key figure in the drug trade.
A follow-up operation at Caprice resulted in his arrest after Police mounted surveillance during a planned transaction involving proceeds from the sale of the suspected drugs.
The suspect later led Police to his residence at Greda Estates, where a search resulted in the retrieval of an amount of GHc400,000 and a counting machine.
According to the police, during the operation, he attempted to bribe the arresting officers with an additional GHc420,000, which has been retained as evidence.
All the suspects are currently in Police custody assisting investigations and will be put before the court.
The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, yesterday April 14, 2026, promoted seven officers of the Tema Regional Police Command to their next ranks for their role in a recent anti-robbery operation in Tema.
The promotions were awarded to officers who responded to a robbery attack on a Mobile Money vendor at Tema Community 5 leading to the shooting of two robbery suspects and the recovery of a firearm, ammunition, and other exhibits.
The officers promoted are Chief Inspector Enoch Nartey Nuer, Inspector Gershon Dekpey; Inspector Prince Asante; No. 45881 Sergeant Lukman Mohammed; No. 49900 Sergeant Eugene Kuudouru; No. 54157 Corporal Jerome Akator; and No. 59882 Lance Corporal Jonathan Sewurah.
