JAK-UP Unveils Six-Pillar Plan to Empower Volta Youth
Kwame Junior Asiemoah, popularly known as JAK-UP, has proposed the establishment of a Youth Opportunity Centre in the Volta Region as part of his plans to create greater access to jobs, scholarships and skills development opportunities for young people.
The proposal forms part of a six-pillar manifesto unveiled by JAK-UP in Ho as he formally entered the race for the position of Volta Regional Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to him, the proposed centre would help move young people away from a system where access to opportunities is largely dependent on personal connections.
He argued that young people seeking employment, scholarships or opportunities to develop their skills should have a dedicated platform through which they can identify...
EKUMFI: How $6M EXIM Participation Built a $53M Industrial Asset — Now Poised for a 24-Hour Economy Breakthrough
With the 20% excise duty on local fruit juices now abolished, the government's Feed the Industries Programme offers Ekumfi Fruits & Juices a pathway to US$48 million in annual turnover, more than 9,000 acres of fruit cultivation, and up to GH₵52,000 in gross revenue per acre for youth and farmers growing pineapple. The transformation could also open a route to accelerated EXIM debt repayment.
Ghana's industrialization journey may be entering a defining chapter. Ekumfi Fruits & Juices Limited is emerging as a potential model for turning development-finance investment into agricultural prosperity, youth employment, industrial expansion and export growth.
With Ghana EXIM Bank participation — its existing credit now restructured to approximately US$6 million — Ekumfi has built an industrial enterprise with an estimated asset value of US$53 million — a modern fruit-processing facility, Ghanaian juice brands, and a foundation for international market expansion.
Yet this substantial investment has lived with a contradiction.
Despite significant processing capacity, the company has been constrained...

CSA Calls for Stronger Protection of Patients’ Data
Health institutions in Ghana have been urged to prioritise cybersecurity as part of their daily operations to safeguard sensitive patient information and protect critical health data against growing cyber threats.
The Director of Administration of the Cyber Security Authority (CSA), Mrs. Mercy Araba Kertson, made the call in a speech delivered on behalf of the Director General, Mr. Divine Selese Agbeti, at the launch of the cybersecurity awareness week organised by the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi.
Mrs. Kertson underscored the growing need for healthcare providers to adopt stronger cybersecurity practices, as the health sector increasingly relied on digital systems to deliver essential services.
The event formed part of the 2026 National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) aimed at sensitising the public to embrace good cyber hygiene practices.
Mrs. Kertson called on healthcare services and providers to...
Why Africa Cannot Build Its Future Without Youth Inclusion -1
Africa is often described as the world’s youngest continent, yet when governments discuss economic growth, trade, education, innovation and governance, the very people who will inherit that future are too often left out of the conversation. Africa’s youth challenge is not that young Africans lack ideas, ambition or talent but that our institutions have not evolved quickly enough to recognise them as partners in shaping the continent’s future.
Across the continent, young Africans are building businesses, creating global brands, driving innovation and reshaping industries. They are founding fintech companies in Nigeria, developing climate solutions in Kenya, producing films in South Africa, creating fashion labels in Côte d’Ivoire and taking African music to audiences worldwide. They are not waiting for permission to build Africa’s future. The real question is whether our institutions are ready to build that future with them.
Africa’s greatest advantage is not only its minerals, oil...
