The Daily Graphic recalls the moral discipline among the youth in the past the shaped society and made it a better place to live. It calls for a return to the basics to protect the nation’s values. The Graphic says though people are allowed to exercise their freedom, this freedom come with responsibilities. It is in this vein that the paper sides with the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God Church, Dr Yaw Frimpong Manso who believes going back to employing taboos to ensure that members of society become responsible is the surest way to rid society of its current woes. The paper also urges the agencies tasked with ensuring discipline in society not to rest on their laurels but play their roles without fear or favour in order to build a responsible society. 

The Ghanaian Times comments on the National Petroleum Corporation's intention to sell its share of the crude oil from the Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme oil fields to the Tema Oil Refinery. This, according to the paper, answers the questions that have been lingering on in the minds of Ghanaians since the country began oil exploration in commercial quantities. TOR the Times says, has faced numerous challenges resulting in the refinery sitting idle for many years. The paper says TEN partners and TOR must use the opportunity to strike a deal that would ensure that TOR is supplied crude oil to produce at full capacity to reposition the refinery to its former state. 

The Daily Heritage reminds Ghanaians of the effects of climate change and the need for a collective effort to curb the phenomenon. The paper cites the change in weather pattern and its consequences, especially on agriculture and food security as issues of concern. The Heritage appeals to all to help fight the aggressive deforestation in the country's forest belt as well as stop the gradual habitation of the sea banks.
