NDC Deputy Youth Organiser aspirant Daniel Niibi outlines plans to give Greater Accra youth a stronger voice
Daniel Niibi Afotey Odai, an aspirant for the position of Deputy Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Greater Accra Region, has outlined a series of proposals aimed at strengthening youth participation and improving support for party organisers. Campaigning under the message, “Youth in Politics: From Spectators to Decision Makers,” Mr Afotey Odai says he wants to establish systems that will give young party members a greater role in decision-making and improve their access to opportunities. His proposals include setting up a functional Greater Accra Youth Secretariat, creating a database of young people across the region’s 34 constituencies and introducing a 24-hour hotline to support youth organisers. He is also proposing the appointment of a desk officer for every constituency and the establishment of a youth welfare scheme to provide support to organisers during illness, bereavement and other significant personal events.
