We’ll Develop Ghana With The Intellect, Strength, Patriotism Of Youth – Vice President Bawumia
The fourth batch of the Community Protection Programme under the
Youth in Community Service and Security Module of the Youth Employment
Agency (YEA) have passed out in Accra and four other Police Training
Schools, with a call by the Vice President of the Republic, Dr Mahamudu
Bawumia, for them to use their newly acquired skills to assist the
police to prevent crime.
In all, 4,000 trainees drawn from all ten regions of Ghana passed out
in the 5 police training schools of Tesano, Kumasi, Koforidua, Pwalugu
and Ho after three weeks of intensive physical and academic training.
This is the largest intake for the Youth in Community Service and
Security Module of the Youth Employment Agency, and forms part of a
total of 15,000 personnel that the YEA has planned to deploy under the
Community Protection module.
Addressing the passing out parade at the National Police Training
School at Tesano, Accra on Friday 4th May, 2018, Vice President Bawumia
underscored Government’s commitment to providing the enabling
environment and necessary opportunities for the youth to earn a decent
living while contributing their quota to national development.
“Let me reaffirm government’s commitment to building a prosperous
country on the intellect, strength, and patriotism of its young
generation. This government is committed to building a country great and
strong for all generations.
“The passing out of the Community Protection Personnel today only
goes to enforce our commitment to solving the challenge of, and reducing
of, unemployment in Ghana.”
Government, Vice President Bawumia indicated, is also exploring other
avenues for job creation to meet the growing incidence of youth
unemployment, especially for graduates.
“Three days ago, His Excellency the President Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo emphasized our government’s commitment to solving youth
unemployment. The Nation Builder’s Corps (NABCO) which is set to employ
some 100,000 graduates in the fields of Agriculture, ICT, revenue
mobilization, healthcare delivery, education, entrepreneurship and
governance, was launched in Kumasi on May 1st.
“This is a major step to solving the graduate unemployment in Ghana.
This intervention will mainly focus on graduates from tertiary
institutions while the Youth Employment Agency takes care of the other
categories of the unemployment category who are not graduates.”
Vice President Bawumia urged the newly-trained members of the Police
Protection Programme to assist the Police in the discharge of their
duties, especially in the area of crime prevention.
“It is expected that, this programme will improve the
police-to-citizen ratio of the country. Beneficiaries of the programme
have been selected across the country to assist the Police in this
regard. We expect that the programme will help reduce the crime levels
in the country.
“To you the beneficiaries, this is an opportunity for you to serve
mother Ghana. The training has been an opportunity to acquire new skills
and discipline. In carrying out your assigned duties from your
supervising Police Officers, remember the important roles you are to
play in the development of our communities. Perform your jobs in ways
that will promote community development while ensuring peace and
tranquility wherever you find yourselves.
