On a vibrant Thursday, November 13, 2025, the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) became a hub of inspiration as the Dagbon Students Association (DASA-UPSA) honored Dr. Farouk Aliu Mahama, a distinguished former Member of Parliament for Yendi. This special event recognized Dr. Mahama’s unwavering commitment to youth empowerment and the development of the Dagbon area, highlighting his significant contributions to the region’s progress.
As students gathered to express their appreciation, Dr. Mahama stood before them with a heart full of gratitude. “I feel honored to be recognized by the youth of Dagbon,” he remarked, his voice brimming with emotion. “It is inspiring to know that my efforts are appreciated.” This sentiment resonated deeply with the audience, reinforcing the idea that recognition can fuel further commitment to developing one’s community.
During his speech, Dr. Mahama articulated the critical need to bridge the developmental gaps in Dagbon, urging the youth to take an active role in their community’s advancement. “Your energy and innovation are vital for Dagbon’s transformation,” he stated, calling upon the younger generation to harness their potential and drive positive change. His words served as a powerful reminder that the future of any society depends heavily on its youth and their engagement in local issues.
Dr. Mahama’s acknowledgment of the students also emphasized the importance of support and collaboration in achieving common goals. “Once again, I am highly grateful,” he said, thanking the students for their trust and support. “Thank you for believing in me.” This exchange delighted the attendees, creating a sense of unity and shared purpose.
As the event wrapped up, the atmosphere was charged with optimism. It was a powerful affirmation of the impact that engaged youth can have on their communities. Events like these not only honor individuals but also set the stage for ongoing dialogue about the future of Dagbon and beyond.
In a world where youthful enthusiasm is often sidelined, gatherings like this shed light on the immense potential that lies within the next generation, especially in regions rich in culture and history, like Dagbon. The recognition of Dr. Mahama, therefore, is more than just an honor; it’s a motivation for all young people to take charge and become architects of their own futures.
