Vision Empowerment Youth Association (VEYA), a youth group in Bolgatanga has organized a cleanup exercise in the Bolgatanga municipality as part of activities to mark the 5th anniversary of the association under the team “Keeping the dream and the peace alive.”
According to them, the theme of the celebration signifies a caution to the youth across the region and beyond to ensure and uphold peace as the country prepares to conduct its 2016 general election.
Chairman of the association Nuhu Anas, stressed that politicians mainly use the youth to cause conflict during and after elections because the youth have allowed them to do so. He however advised the youth not to engage in anything that will dent the image of the country.
According to Mr. Nuhu, Vision Empowerment Youth Association is a non-partisan group which seeks to ensure the welfare of its members and others. He further called on other organizations to emulate the good examples they have exhibited since the association was formed 5 years ago.
He also expressed delight at some of the positive initiatives the association has embarked on since its formation five years ago.
He added that their doors are open to individuals who are more committed as they are to champion the course of the association for membership.
