The National Youth Organiser of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Ludwig Hlodze, has tasked the youth of the party to do away with tendencies likely to disrupt the peace within the party and their communities.
An official statement issued in Accra on Tuesday said he challenged them to regularly engage with their constituency executives to find amicable solutions to internal issues rather than taking actions that gave the party bad publicity.
Addressing members of the NDC youth wing, including executive members of the Tertiary Education Institutions Network (TEIN) from the various campuses in the Upper East Region, Mr Hlodze stated that during the nine months that he had been in office, he had instituted the Youth Development Fund to be used to support members of the youth wing who intended to go into income generating activities and skill training and youth farms in the Volta Region.
He said he also organised the first ever National Youth Summit of the party.
Mr Hlodze paid glowing tribute to Ex-President Jerry Rawlings for his contribution to the development of the three northern regions especially in agriculture, education and infrastructure and asked all to support President John Evans Mills to deliver on the Better Ghana Agenda upon which he was elected into office.
Mr Stanisluv Xoese Dogbe, a Presidential Aide, enumerated the achievements of President Mills' government and said the benefits Ghana, especially the three northern regions, would enjoy from the President's recent visit to Asia included a proposed railway system from Paga to Kumasi, the Eastern Corridor road construction and the rehabilitation of irrigation dams in the northern sector.
He also asked all party faithful to support the President to move Ghana forward.
Mr Richard Quashigah, the NDC National Propaganda Secretary, commended government for the bold steps taken to correct the infrastructural deficit created by the Kufuor regime when the four-year SHS system was introduced culminating in the current difficulties on many campuses.
He gave the assurance that such challenges would soon be over as the construction of many classrooms and dormitories initiated by the NDC administration were at various stages of completion.
Mr Quashigah also praised ex-President Rawlings for giving up his cash prize from the Hunger Project to establish the University for Development Studies in the Northern Sector as the only public university serving the three northern regions as of today.
He lauded the steps taken to begin work on the two new universities in Brong Ahafo and the Volta regions by President Mills as promised during the 2008 campaign.
The NDC officials visited Navrongo, Bawku, Bolgatanga and Pusiga.
In Pusiga, Mr Hlodze inaugurated a new TEIN Branch of 436 members in the Gbewaa College of Education, bringing to 84 the total number of TEIN branches across the country.
