TAMALE RADIO STATIONS URGED TO INSTILL DISCIPLINE IN YOUTH

Mr. Ziblim Abubakari Shaibu, Northern Regional Coordinator of the National Youth Council (NYC) has appealed to radio stations in Tamale to inculcate good morals into the youth by banning the use of vulgar language on air especially during live discussion and phone in programmes.
He attributed the astronomical increase in moral decadence associated with a section of the youth in Tamale to the abuse of the airwaves with specific reference to phone in programmes in the metropolis.
He hence called the need for censorship of all live radio broadcast programmes in the Tamale metropolis.
Mr. Ziblim Shaibu raised this concern ahead of this year’s annual regional youth forum to be held in Tamale which seeks to review and re-organize the Federation of Youth Associations of Ghana in the districts and in the regions.
The Northern Regional National Youth Council Coordinator said other key areas that will be discussed at the forum will include drafting the National Youth Council Work plan for 2010-2012 and a review and evaluation of responses to key issues and concerns which emanated from the 2008 and 2009 dialogue forum.
According to Mr. Shaibu Ziblim, about 200 selected youth groups and community based organizations from all the twenty districts in the northern region will attend the forum under the theme “Building regional capabilities for youth mobilization and effective coordination in a Better Ghana Agenda.”
