Members of Parliament (MPs) from the Bono Region and the CEO
Members of Parliament (MPs) from the Bono region have paid a courtesy call on the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Eric Adjei, pledging their support to help him succeed.
All 12 MPs from the region, including the NPP MP, congratulated Adjei, a native of the area, on his new appointment.
As part of the meeting, they discussed employment opportunities and strategies to promote development in the Bono Region.
Adjei noted that unemployment remains high in the country, especially among the youth, and reaffirmed the organization’s commitment to fostering an environment conducive to job creation for Ghana’s young population.
He stated that the initiative aligns with President John Dramani Mahama’s pledge to prioritize employment opportunities for the nation’s youth.
Adjei revealed plans to implement several modules to achieve this goal, including providing business development services, establishing startup incubators, and offering funding opportunities for young businesses.
“This renewed focus on entrepreneurship and innovation is a direct response to the challenges highlighted by President Mahama,” he said.
He emphasized the importance of job creation, particularly through aggressive food production and the modernization of agriculture, as part of his vision for a 24-hour economy.
“By creating an enabling environment for young entrepreneurs, NEIP seeks to empower the youth, reduce unemployment, and contribute to the nation’s economic growth,” he added.
NEIP, a flagship policy initiative of the Government of Ghana, aims to provide integrated national support for start-ups and small businesses.
Its primary focus is on offering business development services, startup incubators, and funding to young enterprises, enabling them to grow and succeed.
