Strategic Engagement with the Eastern Regional Minister and the New MASLOC Director
By Edwin Kobina Amoquandoh
On Monday, 7th April 2025, the Eastern Regional Executives of the Young Cadres undertook a highly strategic and purpose-driven engagement with two key figures in the region’s governance architecture. The day began with a formal meeting with the Honourable Eastern Regional Minister, Rita Akosua Adjei Awatey, followed by an equally productive interaction with Mr. Haruna Mohammed Ayuba, the newly appointed Eastern Regional Director of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC).
The first meeting, hosted at the Regional Coordinating Council, was not only cordial but rich in dialogue, ideas, and shared commitment to development. The Young Cadres, represented by a team of proactive regional executives, sought to deepen institutional relations with the regional authority and align efforts towards youth empowerment, social intervention, and community-focused development. The team was led by Nana Koree, the Eastern Regional Coordinator, with support from Comrade Enoch Sewordor (Secretary), Philip Adomako Kwabi (Executive member), and Comrade Edwin Kobina Amoquandoh (Social Media Director).
In her address, Hon. Rita Awatey welcomed the team with warmth and expressed strong optimism about the potential role the Young Cadres could play in supporting regional development efforts. She underscored the importance of coordinated civic engagement and assured the team of her office’s openness to productive collaborations that prioritize the welfare of the people—particularly the youth and marginalized groups.
Following the successful discussions with the Minister, the team proceeded to meet Mr. Haruna Mohammed Ayuba, the new Regional Director of MASLOC. The meeting served as an opportunity to introduce the vision and mission of the Young Cadres and explore areas of potential collaboration, especially in the realms of entrepreneurship, youth financing, and microeconomic resilience. Mr. Ayuba welcomed the delegation warmly and expressed readiness to partner with youth-led organizations to extend MASLOC’s services to more grassroots beneficiaries across the region.
The significance of these two meetings cannot be overstated. They mark an important milestone in the Young Cadres agenda of building bridges between youth-focused advocacy and institutional policymaking. It also lays the groundwork for a structured approach to coordination and delivery of development-oriented interventions in the Eastern Region.
In a time where meaningful partnerships are key to sustainable progress, these engagements reflect not just a symbolic gesture, but a strategic move to embed youth participation in governance and regional transformation.
This is a step in the right direction—one that positions the Cadres front as an active stakeholder in shaping the future of the Eastern Region. The journey to uplift, empower, and transform continues—with renewed energy and purpose.
