Nana Osei-Nketiah made the call at a symposium organised for members of Family Life Education Clubs of the Fiaseman Secondary School and the Nkroful Agricultural Secondary School. The symposium which was on the theme: Should family planning be introduced to the youth", was jointly organised by the Planned Parenthood Association of Ghana and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
