Leonard Hagan of the Barcamp Ghana team said “Over the years we have prepared ourselves by laying very strong developmental ideas through entrepreneurial ventures and partnership. I believe it’s now time for us the youth to learn how to sustain our ventures by being globally competitive and not locally alone. I look forward to seeing more of the youth at this year’s Barcamp Bolgatanga.”
