Minister warns youth against strike
actions
Drobo (B/A), July 24, Ghanadot/GNA - Alhaji Boniface
Abubakar Saddique, Minister of Manpower, Youth and
Employment, has advised the youth engaged under the National
Youth Employment Programme (NYEP) to work assiduously and
shun industrial actions.
He said by their conscientious attitude to work, the
programme would be sustained to achieve the desired goals.
The minister said this at Drobo in Jaman South District
during a one-day tour of the region that took him to
Kintampo North, Kintampo South, Berekum, Dormaa, Jaman North
districts and Techiman municipality.
A beneficiary had asked the minister if they, as employees,
could also embark on strike actions if their salaries or
allowances were delayed.
Alhaji Saddique cautioned the personnel to choose between
engaging in the unwholesome acts of strike actions, some of
which lead to the destruction of state property and loss of
jobs or working assiduously for the betterment of their
situations and that of the nation.
He said the ministry would not hesitate to fire
beneficiaries of the NYEP who would engage in industrial
action.
Mr. Apraku Tanor, District Chief Executive, said out of
2,905 applications received for placement, the assembly had
engaged 674 youth in six modules.
