“My vision is clear: to deploy and implement the most aggressive and transformative policy framework for youth development in the history of our beloved country. Together, we will create decent jobs, empower millions, and lift young people out of poverty.
“Let’s start that business; that initiative, that dream-and make it a Ghanaian success story. That is What the Mahama administration stands for, inclusive progress, bold action, and unparalleled ambition. I pledge to lead with humility,” said Mr. Opare in expressing his gratitude to the president on his nominating as minister-designate.
Emphasizing the opportunity given to him, the National Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) said, “My mind is with you, young people,” and pledged to lead the fight against “social injustice, poverty, and underdevelopment.”

He stressed that, if approved as sector minister, he would run a non-partisan office and promised to ensure inclusivity.
“No matter your political persuasion, creed, or background, my doors are opened. No time for long bureaucracy.
