Ghana owes an immeasurable debt of gratitude to pensioners for the survival of the country.
“You were committed and dedicated,” Mrs Helen Adjoa Ntoso, Volta Regional Minister said on Wednesday.
She was addressing members of the Ghana Government Pensioners’ Association at their get-together in Ho.
Mrs Ntoso urged the pensioners to have a positive outlook to life so that they could maintain their vitality beyond 80 years.
She promised to create a bigger platform for more pensioners in the region to fraternize among themselves and make the most of their lives.
Mrs Ntoso appealed to them to pray regularly for the youths, since many of them were falling foul of the law and have become “jail birds”.
Madam Celestine Vehe, Local Chairperson of the Association advised members to exercise moderation in whatever they do, exercise regularly and pay attention to their health and share their experiences and direction with the younger generation.
