The institute called for practical steps to bridge the gap between theory and practice, promote local food production and exportation, add value to natural resources, find local solutions to challenges, and bolster the fight for economic independence.

Despite Ghana's democratic success since 1992, the institute warned that the country's democracy is still fragile, with increasing money influence in politics, economic struggles, and threats to moral values.

The institute acknowledged the contributions of Ghana's heroes and forefathers who fought for political independence but emphasized the need for continued vigilance to address contemporary challenges.
