Dubbed; ‘The Century Agenda Initiative,’ it is also aimed at har­nessing the geographical advantage to drive an inclusive social, eco­nomic and political society.

It was on the theme: ‘From Vision to Reality: Transforming Ghana for All, One Nation, One Future.’

Speaking at the press launch on Tuesday, the Executive Director of CNIR, Mr Dzabaku Kudiabor Ocansey, stated that the move which would be officially launch on October 22, would foster entre­preneurship and job creation to achieve inclusive economic growth.
    

He added that the initiative would also focus on how to de­velop and improve the country’s natural resources without destroy­ing the existing environment.

“For Global Leadership and Innovation, we will drive digital transformation and innovation guided by principles of inclusivity, collaboration, innovation, sustain­ability, accountability, and transpar­ency.

“We will focus on key areas such as research, apprenticeship, nation­al orientation, entrepreneurship, agriculture, technology, Tourism, Sports and creative industries,” Mr Ocansy emphasised.

Touching on the initiative’s political arm, he said, “we have na­tionalists in that political arm, what they do is that they take advantage of the opportunities around to cre­ate their own wealth to help others to survive.”

However, Mr Ocansey noted that a typical politician was some­one who when voted for, would in­vest all the power in himself, want to destroy things he or she came to meet to enrich themselves.

“And this is what we want to avoid because if we are well-in­formed, educated, we will be able to distinguish between a nationalist, a leader, and a politician so we can choose whom we want to lead us,” he noted.

Mr Ocansey further mentioned that education would take place through stakeholder engagement, forums, community outreach, conferences, and conventions, to reach out to the youth, “so that we all know what we are supposed to do to help our country or our community”.
