Naeem Ahmed Abdul Ghafaar, a Level 400 Student of Ghana Institute of Journalism will launch the maiden edition of his book, titled “IMAGINATION: a Force of Attraction and Creativity” at Lecture Hall D3, GIJ campus, Accra.
The event which will last for two to three hours, from 4 to 7 pm will outdoor the book, and create an insight into how our imagination affects the outcome of our lives on a daily basis throughout our lives.

It will explain the relationship between a creator and the object created, and how this creativity can be used to impact our lives.

According to the author whatever image that a person is holding in the mind is at some distance away from the person, and that imagination will cause the person to move in the line of thoughts to close the gap between himself and the object viewed in the mind's eye.

Naeem Ahmed noted: "As a nation or as individuals, it is only changed in mindset that can lead to change in condition".

Explaining the process of creativity, the author explains why objects come into being and the methods by which they come into existence. All existence that occurs through imagination is engineered and originated in the mind, where imagination becomes a force of attraction influencing human behaviour and compels the mind to spawn thoughts into tangible forms.

Guest speakers at the launch will include, Hon. Abass Ridwan Dauda, MP for Sissala East; Dr. Gyan Ernest, a renowned lecturer and Senior researcher; and Mumuni Sulemana, Director of Operations and Planning at National Youth Authority, These are people who understand the author’s perspective and can help create insight and understanding of the objective of the book.

Naeem Ahmed is, therefore, calling on individuals, business executives, Civil Society Organisations, booksellers and distributors to come and help him launch the book. He will use the opportunity to tell the general public that we are all equal, but that our differences will depend on our level of creativity which informs who we become in the eyes of the society.
