Lady Julia Osei Tutu, wife of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has decried the increasing rate at which the youth were getting involved in alcoholism and other immoral lifestyles.
Such practices, she said, could be detrimental to their health, physical and career development and, therefore, rallied moralists and stakeholders to work hard to address the situation.
She underscored the need for the youth to be mentored positively to stay focused, noting that this would help them make informed decisions and choices to brighten their chances of making it in life in future.
Lady Julia said this when the leadership of the Young People’s Guild (YPG) of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG) paid a courtesy call on her at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi.
The visit formed part of the church’s Mission to the Palace project, a programme that seeks to deepen relationship with traditional authorities.
Lady Julia, a member of the PCG, acknowledged the critical role played by the church in the propagation of the Gospel to help salvage mankind from evil deeds.
The YPG, she said, should not relent in its efforts, but, be committed to the doctrines of the church and also intensify its evangelical activities to promote piety in the society.
Mr. Prince Kyei Ampofo, an executive member of the YPG, said the group was committed to spreading the gospel, particularly in remote areas of the country, where the people needed a lot of hope to survive the daily hardships of life.
He urged his colleagues to be active in activities of the Guild to foster its growth.
