The GenZ for Bawumia/Napo train has, reached out to over 1,600 students in two tertiary institutions, the University of Ghana City Campus and the Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU) at Tesano all in Accra.
The train, as usual was on the mission to propagate the good news of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s policies towards students and young Ghanaians ahead of the 2024 general elections.
On Wednesday November 13, 2024, the team started the campaign at City Campus in Adabraka through to AUCC hostels to convince the students to vote massively for Dr Bawumia and the party’s parliamentary candidates.
The GenZ team was inspired by the NPP’s achievements and the plans presented by Dr Bawumia on the digitalization and economic empowerment for the youth.
Focus
The GenZ for Bawumia/Napo team focuses on connecting with every young Ghanaian, especially those in universities, by sharing NPP policies through a door-to-door campaign and having personal discussions with students about the importance of voting for the NPP.
GCTU
Last Thursday, the team moved to the GCTU where they shared Dr Bawumia’s policy initiatives and the NPP’s vision.
Once again, they engaged the students and took them through the party’s manifesto, which includes ambitious commitments such as the creation of one million digital jobs for Ghanaians, the establishment of a Fintech Fund to nurture startups, and the formation of a dedicated SME Bank to bolster small and medium enterprises.
These initiatives are designed to empower the youth and stimulate economic growth, aligning with the aspirations of a generation eager for innovation and opportunity.
In collaboration with TESCON executives on both City Campus and GCTU, the GenZ group worked diligently to disseminate information about the NPP’s initiatives and programmes specifically crafted for young people, particularly those pursuing higher education.
This partnership underscores the importance of grassroots engagement and the need to connect with students on a personal level.
Response
The response from the students was overwhelmingly positive, with enthusiastic chants of “Dr Bawumia No. 1” resonating through the campuses.
The team distributed a variety of promotional materials, including T-shirts, pens, key holders, and informative leaflets that outlined the party’s policies and vision for the future.
This hands-on approach not only fostered a sense of community but also reinforced the message of hope and progress that the NPP aims to convey.
