Human Capital Takes Center Stage as Bishop Quansah Endorses Dr Adutwum’s Vision

The Founder of Joint-Heirs Ministry, Bishop Dr. Samuel Ray Quansah, has lauded former Minister of Education and aspiring New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, for what he described as a bold and God-driven commitment to human development and youth empowerment.

The commendation was made on Sunday, December 28, 2025, during a Thanksgiving Service for YOA Foundation Graduates, held at the Joint-Heirs Ministry in Feyiase, opposite the Jusbro Filling Station. The service, which began promptly at 8:00 a.m., brought together 2,025 graduates of the YOA Foundation, their parents, beneficiaries, and members of the church.

The Thanksgiving Service also attracted a number of traditional leaders, underscoring the significance of the occasion. Among the dignitaries present were Okofonyini Asakyim Kwakye Agyemang (Aputuogya Hene), Ofori Panin of Deduako, Balfour Kwaku Amoateng IV (Jachie Hene), and Nana Addai Gyamerah, the Feyiase Hene. Their presence highlighted the growing collaboration between traditional authority, faith-based institutions, and initiatives aimed at human development.

Speaking to the congregation, Bishop Dr. Samuel Ray Quansah praised Dr. Adutwum’s decision to invest in the education and development of young people, describing it as a clear reflection of the kind of leadership God expects from those entrusted with authority.

According to him, Dr. Adutwum’s vision gives true meaning to politics—not merely as a tool for power, but as a platform to raise future leaders of hope, integrity, and national pride.

“I wish other politicians would emulate this kind of leadership thinking,” he stated. “Dr. Adutwum has shown that politics can be used as a means to build the future of this nation by investing in its young people.”

The church founder further admonished beneficiaries of the YOA Foundation to remain grateful—both to God and to Dr. Adutwum—for what he described as a God-given vision. He cautioned against ingratitude, urging families and society to appreciate the generosity and long-term impact of such initiatives.

He noted that Ghana’s development challenges would be significantly reduced if political leaders across the country committed even a fraction of the effort and resources witnessed at the event toward human capital development.

“If what I have seen here today were replicated in every part of the country, we would not be where we are as a nation,” he emphasized.

The Thanksgiving Service was marked by moments of praise, reflection, and celebration, as graduates of the YOA Foundation gathered to give thanks for their educational journey and the support that made it possible.
