“A celebration of the bold, brilliant, creative, resilient, visionary, and unstoppable spirit and talent of the Volta youth. So rise to the occasion and own it. This is your stage.” – He said.
“What do you want to see at the first-ever Volta YouthFest? Tell us—programs, performances, speakers, anything. We’re building this with you, and for you.” – He added.
This announcement was made nearly two months ago after the Regional Minister inaugurated a 13-member Planning Committee for Youth Festival 2025 chaired by Emmanuel K. Mensah.
Hon. Gunu tasked the Committee to plan the Volta Youth Festival, tentatively scheduled for August 2025.
He applauded the youth-led initiative, which aims to unite and empower young people across the region. A major highlight will be the launch of the Volta Youth Development Fund to support entrepreneurship and skills-based education.
The Minister pledged the full backing of the Regional Coordinating Council and called on all stakeholders to support the initiative.
