Speaking post-cancellation, Dr. Arikana expressed regret but emphasized their duty to make amends.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We acknowledge our let-down to the youth, but we recognize our duty to set things right. With the wisdom, energy, and intelligence of our youth, we believe in steering Africa towards a new path,&#8221; expressed Dr. Arikana.<\/p>\n<p>The speakers, invited to deliver a message of hope and unity, highlighted the youth&#8217;s role in shaping Africa&#8217;s future. Professor PLO Lumumba referenced Osageyefo Kwame Nkrumah&#8217;s call for African unity in Accra 67 years ago, noting that the message of hope will persist despite the disruption.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Lumumba anticipates similar events across Africa, emphasizing the continent&#8217;s growing intimacy through initiatives like the African Continental Free Trade Area headquartered in Accra.<\/p>\n<p>Nigerian politician Peter Obi blamed Africa&#8217;s challenges on failed leadership, urging a change. Despite abundant resources, he emphasized the continent&#8217;s high levels of poverty, signalling the need for transformative leadership.<\/p>\n<p>While &#8216;The Convention 2024&#8217; faced an unexpected setback, the speakers remained resolute in their commitment to empowering African youth and fostering continental unity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/ghana\">Ghana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
