National Youth Authority disowns December trip to Togo

The National Youth Authority (NYA) has issued a formal public disclaimer to distance itself from a purported trip to Togo scheduled for December 2026. The state agency made it clear that it has no involvement in the planning, sanctioning, or endorsement of the event, which has reportedly been circulating among youth circles. The disclaimer follows reports of misleading claims suggesting the trip is an official or state-supported initiative.

The NYA specifically named Adventures of the Mind Ghana as the organization behind the unauthorized event. In a statement dated November 11, 2026, the Authority clarified that it has entered into no partnership or association with this group for any regional travel program. Officials urged the public, particularly the youth and their guardians, to disregard any materials or advertisements that link the NYA to this excursion, warning that such claims are entirely groundless.

Reaffirming its mandate, the National Youth Authority stressed that its focus remains on genuine initiatives that promote youth development and empowerment within Ghana and the sub-region. The Authority advised citizens to verify the legitimacy of youth-oriented programs through its official communication channels before participating. This warning serves as a measure to prevent the public from falling victim to potentially fraudulent schemes using the name of the state agency for credibility.
