A member of the Ghana Institution of Engineering, Yaw Nsarkoh, has emphasized the significance of taking action to address urgent social issues.

The Institution’s Annual Ethics Lecture 2023, with the theme “Improving National Values, Professional Practice, and Engineering Ethics,” served as a platform to discuss crucial ethical and societal matters in Ghana.

During his speech, Mr. Nsarkoh underscored the timeliness of the event, stressing that Ghanaians cannot afford to be passive, especially as they approach the 2024 elections.

He pointed out the significant social disparities in Ghana, stating that “Too many people in Ghana live in mass misery,” and added that many individuals have nothing to lose.

He believed that this situation could impact the prospects of those who have more to lose if it persists.

Yaw Nsarkoh, a former Executive Vice President of Unilever Ghana and Nigeria, brings extensive experience from executive and management positions held at Unilever across Africa, Asia, and Europe.
