  The Municipal Chief Executive of Asokore Mampong, Hon. Ben Abdullah, has emphasized that leadership is not defined by age, but by responsibility. Hon. Abdullah made these remarks during his engagement with Ghanaian youth at the Ignite Kumasi Youth Empowerment Summit 2026, held under the theme “Unlocking Potential: Preparing Ghanaian Youth for a Global Future.” According to him, leadership is not defined by age, title, or position, but rather by responsibility, character, and the ability to inspire positive change.
