The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Efutu Constituency, Honourable Alexander Afenyo-Markin has organised the first-ever youth conference for the youth of Efutu.

The apolitical conference had the launch of the ‘Efutu Dream’, a development strategy initiative by the MP as its main menu.

The ‘Efutu Dream’, according to the MP is a forum with the youth of the Efutu enclave where they shared ideas on developments in the Constituency.

The forum encouraged the youth to share their ideas on how Efutu could be effectively developed.

They have, therefore requested to see the heads of institutions such as the National Youth Authority, National Health Insurance and security agencies.

Mr Afenyo-Markin promised to invite the leaders in those spaces so they could interact with the youth at subsequent fora.
