Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu, the President and Founder of the Afro-Arab Group of Companies, is set to host the flagbearers of Ghana’s leading political parties for the upcoming International Youth Day on August 12, 2024.

His Excellency Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), and Former President John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), will join the Zongo Youth Ambassador for Peace and Development in this significant event.

“The Zongo youth will have the opportunity to meet face-to-face with His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama, NDC Presidential Candidate, and His Excellency Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, NPP Presidential Candidate,” Ambassador Alhaji Amadu announced.

The plight of Zongo communities is marked by challenges such as unemployment, drug abuse, poor housing conditions, inadequate sanitation, lack of social amenities, insufficient schools, and poor road infrastructure. Above all, there is a pressing need for substantial investment to foster self-sufficiency through entrepreneurship.

Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu, who holds several ambassadorial roles including One Young World Ambassador, Africa Assembly for Peace Ambassador, and Zarbarma Youth Ambassador, made history with the maiden edition of the International Youth Day celebrations.
