The flag
bearer for the Convention People’s Party (C.P.P) during the immediate past
general elections, Dr. Abu Sakara on Monday, 18th March, 2013,
tasked some students of the Ghana Institute of Journalism to take the future
into their own hands.
Speaking
on the theme “defining a new vision for the successor generation of Ghana” he
touched on the need for a transformation from the visions of olds to a vision
befitting of a new generation for the onward movement of the individual and the
entirety of the society, “do not fight old men battles, old men who asked their
young men and women to fight their battles are the ones who left without a
legacy” he stressed.
He challenged
students not to allow their generation to succumb to the temptations of a world
order that always place them at the bottom. He bemoaned the attitude of living
in isolation but called for recognition of the framework in which we as
Africans work in. “we operate in an African context guided by an African Union
that has its own vision and we must align our vision to that, but before doing
that we should also recognized that a vision is not a product of the construct
of philosophical thinking and ideology alone, is building bloc are values and
principles that shapes your policy because it what determines whether as a
group of people you would leave your weakest behind or you move with him is
expedient” he opined.
He made
these pronouncements at a ceremony marking the beginning of the initiation of
new member’s and hall week celebrations of the Osagyefo Hall of the Ghana
Institute of Journalism.
In
attendance was Mr. Raymond Bayor, the SRC president of the institute, Mr.Tim Quarshigah
(a lecture), the hall president and other executives.
The program
which started at exactly forty minutes passed 14Hrs GMT came to an end at
16:15GMT, but continues on Tuesday,
March 19, 2013, with a talk on investigative journalism by the award winning
investigative Journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
