THE President, Prof. John Evans Atta Mills, has expressed the resolve of the government to address the problems and needs of the youth of the country.
He, therefore, admonished them to exercise maximum restraint as efforts were made to engage them.
He said the government was not oblivious to the needs of the youth, nor was it neglecting them, emphasising that “we acknowledge your immense contribution to the party and the government over the years”.
The President was speaking on his arrival at the Presidential Lodge in Tamale where he addressed an enthusiastic crowd of the youth yesterday.
A large number of people, including NDC faithful, had earlier thronged the Tamale Airport to welcome Prof. Mills. It took the President over an hour to arrive at the lodge because of the teeming crowd, some of whom had lined up the roads to catch a glimpse of him.
The President is on a three-day official visit to the Northern Region. He inaugurated an administration block complex for the University for Development Studies (UDS), Tamale Campus, yesterday and is expected to address metropolitan, municipal and district chief executives on a wide range of issues today.
The President will also cut the sod today for the commencement of work on the refurbishment of the Tamale Teaching Hospital.
President Mills expressed appreciation to the chiefs and people of Tamale for the warm reception accorded him and his team into the metropolis and assured them that the government would not disappoint them but surely live up to the expectation of ensuring a better Ghana for all.
