International business leader and CEO of Airtel Ghana, Lucy Quist, has challenged the youth to take up the responsibility of training their skills and working to create solutions that will develop the nation and create the Ghana they desire.
According to her, governments are enablers, who are to create the right atmosphere and pillars for businesses to thrive. It is the citizens who create businesses that create prosperity to build nations.
Speaking at “The Bold New Normal” Tour in Kumasi last Saturday, the Airtel Ghana CEO said “government is about structure so to speak, when it comes to development, I see the role of governments around creating the right pillars for development. The actual actions around development are built on the pillars that government creates to enable the environment and create businesses that are good for society because we need businesses that will solve problem”.
“The solutions will have to be created by entrepreneurs, most importantly, I believe by the young generation who are coming up. I have so much hope and belief in them and their ability to create a different future from what we inherited”, Quist mentioned.
The Bold New Normal Tour is an interactive session with Lucy Quist on how young entrepreneurial minds can take bold steps away from the norm and create prosperity for themselves, their country and continent through entrepreneurship, career and technology.
“I have over the years had the wonderful privilege of working with so many people across the continent and most importantly with young people. I know that the desire to change our outcomes as a continent and as a country is there.
“The Bold New Normal articulates that more strongly and more clearly as we need to create prosperity. What The Bold New Normal does is to create a platform on which we can break down what it means to create prosperity,” she said.
The Airtel Ghana CEO further added “we need bold new visions to transform the language we speak and as we are careful about what we say we will influence and change mindsets. A changed mindset is what transforms a world, a country, a person. When we act differently we change our outcomes”.
The Bold New Normal Tour will be organized in different regions of the country in the coming months to interact with millennials.
