The Chairman of the International Youth Fellowship (IYF) in charge of West Africa, Rev. Hee Jin Park, has indicated that Ghana can become one of the developed nations in the world if there is a change in mindset of its citizens.

Rev. Park noted that Ghana, after gaining independence was far developed than South Korea, however, the latter was now among the most advanced nations in the world whiles the former was still grappling with basic needs for its people. He said South Korea had lower GDP than Ghana in 1957 but now the third largest economy in Asia and the 11th in the world.
