More than 500 youth across all the 29 electoral areas in the Suhum Constituency of the Eastern Region has been enrolled onto the Oboafo Kwadwo Asante apprenticeship program.
The purpose of which the Member of Parliament for Suhum Constituency initiated such program for the youth is to help them get their own handiwork doing to minimize the unemployment situation in the area.
Speaking to Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH, Oboafo Kwadwo Asante said, government cannot enter every household and give jobs to the individuals. But noted that it is the reason why gov’t always implement programs that benefit all such as the Free Senior High School.
This, he indicated was the exactly step he has also embarked on done the youth within his catchment area.
According to him, he has suffered before and he don’t want to see this youth going through same terrible situation in their lives; hence the free artisanal program to give them better future.
For them to attend work regularly, the MP gave them machines they will need to use for learning the work with an amount of GH¢500.00 each as their transportation fare.
The program was held at Suhum main lorry station on Sunday, March 5, 2023 and it was under the theme: ‘Empowering The Youth Through Skills Development And Apprenticeship.
Some of the youth spoke with KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH and expressed their heartfelt gratitude to their MP for the love shown them.
They promise they won’t let the huge amount of money he has invested in them go waste but rather they will learn hard to ensure they graduate successfully.
For her part, the Suhumhemaa, Nana Arko Bensua I who chaired the program advise them to humble themselves and serve their bosses as they are going to start learning the work.
She mentioned that, the Suhumman will forever be grateful to Oboafo Kwadwo Asante for his good works, because many people could not got such opportunity.
