The Northern Business Summit kicked off in Tamale with a whole vibe about getting women and young people more involved in the region's economic scene. Alhaji Mohammed Rufai spoke for the Regional Minister and said the north has massive agribusiness potential that could pop off if barriers came down for youth participation. Pascal Abiirosoh Atongo from KIP Events pushed the empowerment angle hard, saying that when women get lifted, everyone benefits.
Abdul Salam from the National Lottery Authority talked about building better support systems for vulnerable groups, and he laid out how the NLA backs marginalized communities. Panel discussions wrapped things up with experts saying the region needs more investment in education, skills training, and mentorship programs to actually break through these barriers and help the next generation of business leaders emerge from northern Ghana.
