Sammi Awuku shakes hands with Okyenhene<\/strong>Y<\/strong><\/p>\n

LEADERSHIP
\nOF the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) has decided to set up a cassava plantation
\ntogether with a processing factory in the Eastern Region.<\/p>\n

The
\nannouncement was made by Chairman of the YEA Board and National Organiser of
\nthe governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammi Awuku.<\/p>\n

He said this
\nwhen he led a delegation together with Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the agency,
\nLawyer Justin Kodua Frimpong,\u00a0 and some
\nboard, management members and YEA ambassadors paid a courtesy call on the
\nOkyenhene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin, to introduce new initiatives of the
\nagency (Job Centre, Artisan Directory and the Regional and District Flagship
\nprogrammes) to him.<\/p>\n

As part of its
\nRegional and District Flagship programmes, the YEA intends to cultivate a
\ncassava plantation. Besides, it is considering plans to build a processing
\nfactory in the Eastern Region.<\/p>\n

On his part,
\nLawyer Kodua talked of the likely benefits these new initiatives were going to
\npresent to the Ghanaian, especially the youth. <\/p>\n

He
\nreiterated government\u2019s commitment to create sustainable jobs for the youth in
\na bid to end the seeming recycling of youth unemployment in the country.<\/p>\n

The Board
\nChairman and CEO, therefore, called on the Okyenhene to support YEA in the
\nregion and implored him to use his influence and networks to garner investor
\nsupport for the agency.<\/p>\n

An obviously
\nexcited Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin commended the agency for its commitment to
\nthe mandate of job creation. He urged members of the agency to lead the path of
\nGhana\u2019s development as envisioned by the President. <\/p>\n

He,
\ntherefore, called on government to employ innovative ways to shift the focus of
\nthe youth from small-scale mining to agriculture. He posited that it is only
\nthrough agriculture, education and infrastructure that Ghana can become great
\nafter 62 years of independence.<\/p>\n

Leadership of the agency has since pledged its commitment to empower and improve the livelihoods of young people as mandated by the Act.<\/p>\n
