The Board Chairman of the Public Procurement Authority (PPA), Professor Douglas Boateng, says the youth must be mentored through the art of reading and entrepreneurship.
He said such positive attitudes would move the youth away from vices such as the recent incident of reported murder of a 10-year-old by two teenagers for suspected money making rituals.
He said the incident, which shocked the nation during the Easter, was evidence of the mentorship that the youth needed currently to take them away from potential pitfalls of life.

Dr Stephen Opuni, former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD)
Mr Peter Osei Amoako, the Director of Finance at COCOBOD, says all fertilizers are tested for a minimum of two years as indicated by scientists.
He told the court that the 2016 contracts for lithovit liquid fertilizer was cancelled because it did not go through the minimum two years testing regime.
Mr Amoako was answering questions in a cross-examination in a trial involving Dr Stephen Opuni and two others in Accra.
Mr Samuel Cudjoe, Counsel for Dr Opuni, showed a scientific report to the witness from the Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana (CRIG) that lithovit liquid fertilizer has been tested for 6months could be used on Cocoa trees but the witness disagreed.

Over the past four years, President Nana Akuffo-Addo of Ghana has gained a kind of global popularity that is rare for an African leader.
I was 16 and living with a relative within walking distance from his Nima residence in Accra when I saw him speak on television. The year was 2007. Through the cacophony on Ghanaâs airwaves and the fog of a nation still in transition, Akufo-Addoâs voice cut through with a sense of purpose, clarity and assurance that made him very relatable and trustworthy.
I believe it is this quality, more than anything, that has allowed him to guide Ghana so ably during this pandemic. It has also endeared him to a global pan-African audience that has long yearned for an African leader who is both willing and able to defend the dignity and independence of the African people and countries. But there is more to Akuffo-Addo than that.
