Dr Zanetor Agyemang Rawlings, the Member of Parliament for the Klottey-Korley Constituency, has charged the youth, especially delegates of this year's African Youth and Governance Conference (AYGC) to be ethical in everything they do.

She said, the youth must remember that human values made the nation special and making changes wherever they found themselves was the surest way of bridging the gap between those who considered themselves as having opportunities and vice-versa.

"AYGC is something the continent needs especially when there has been a vacuum of leadership.

"Is not just about infrastructure, it is about the people, the capacity building of one another," Dr Rawlings said this at the Banquet of the 10th AYGC held in Accra over the weekend.

AYGC is the convergence of a four-tier transformational leadership programme for leadership grooming, cascade of mentorship, community impact, and networking for African and Diaspora youth.

Organised annually by the Youth Bridge Foundation (YBF), a Non-Governmental Organisation focused on creating supportive platforms to challenge the creativity of the Youth, and to make available critical information and resources needed for total development.

On the theme: “Mobilizing Africa's Youth to Build a Continent Beyond Aid", this year's agenda had youth from 25 African Countries, 30 from the Diaspora and seven coaches from Canada.
Dr Rawlings observed that the delegates represented the future and it was incumbent on them to change the discourse and make impact in their countries following the grooming and knowledge impacted into them throughout the eight - day engagement adding that "Feel as one people and build a better continent, by looking to the medium and long term" she said.
