651 ENGAGED BY NYEP IN NANUMBA SOUTH DISTRICT


About 651 youth in the Nanumba South District of the Northern Region have so far been engaged under the various modules of the National Youth Employment Programme (NYEP).

The Programme Coordinator for the District, Alhassan Abukari Alabani who announced this at Wulensi, gave the break down as 98 for the Community Education Teaching Assistants, 73 for Health Extension Workers, 61 posted to the various departments and agencies, 25 for Youth in Agriculture Programme, 181 for Waste Management Programme, 5 for Community Protection Assistants, 67 Tailors and Dressmakers, 100 for the Afforestation Programme and 3 for Information and Communications Technology.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of a two month training course for 73 Health Extension Workers in Wulensi, Mr. Alhassan Abukari urged the beneficiaries of the Health Extension Workers to work hard wherever they would be posted after the training to justify their participation in the programme.

He said the beneficiaries had been engaged for a two-year period, after which they would exit to make way for fresh people to be recruited.

Mr. Alhassan Abukari, therefore, advised the participants to adopt the right attitude and be role models in the communities where they would be posted to serve.
