Born in Keta in 1949, Asante’s formative years were influenced by his involvement in the Ghana Young Pioneer Movement, inspired by the ideals of Kwame Nkrumah. He credited Nkrumah’s passionate personality and exceptional oratory for inspiring young men like him to engage in activism.
Asante also championed the voice of African youth on issues such as the environment and population. He organised seminars and workshops locally and regionally, attended key Organisation of African Unity (OAU) summits, and served on the Bureau for Refugees in Addis Ababa.
