NORTHERN YOUTH URGED TO STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE (PAGE 29, SEPT 23, 2010)

THE Northern Ghana Youth Network for Development (NGYND) has implored youth of the three northern regions to emulate the shining example of the Managing Director of Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL), Mr Mohammed Ibrahim Awal.
According to the network, Mr Awal had risen from a reporter to the position of Managing Director of Ghana’s best performing media company, the GCGL.
He has “brought on board innovation, management sophistication, a grandiose of expertise, excellence and experience to propel the GCGL to its current standards.”
In a press statement signed by the Executive Director, Mr Muhammed Yakubu, the network congratulated Mr Awal for being declared the 2009 Marketing Man of the Year at the recently held Chartered Institute of Marketing Ghana (CIMG) Marketing Performance Awards.
“By this startling and sterling achievement, the generality of Ghanaians and, for that matter, people of northern Ghana, especially the youth, recognise this, celebrate with you and share in your joy, honour and glory as a role model for the current generation of Ghanaians,” the statement read.
The network observed that, the youth in the north needed role models like Mr Awal to enable them to aspire and achieve greater feats.
It, therefore, called on the youth to shift their attention from activities that would not augur well for their well -being and focus on those that would improve their intellectual abilities.
The network also congratulated the newly-appointed Managing Director of the Ghana Post, Mr Abdulai Rafiu, and entreated him to bring his expertise to bear on the company to redirect it towards success.
“It is our hope that, he would adopt best and appropriate managerial practices to curb the crises that have characterised Ghana Post in recent times. We have a lot of confidence in Mr. Abdulai and believe that his diligence and astuteness when applied to managing Ghana Post will inure to the benefit of Ghana,” the statement read.
