The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Ga Central, Emmanuel Adottey Allotey, has officially launched the ‘Nkokɔ Nkitinkiti’ and the National Apprenticeship Program (NAP) at the Ga Central Municipal Assembly.
He urged beneficiaries to seize the opportunity for sustainable development.
In his speech, Mr. Allotey emphasized that the initiative is a capital investment aimed at revitalizing the grassroots economy by empowering youth, creating jobs, and strengthening communities.
“When farmers thrive, the economy grows; when artisans expand, jobs are created; when the youth are empowered, communities become stable and prosperous,” he said.
The MCE encouraged poultry farmers, master craftsmen, and apprentices to work hard, remain disciplined, and seek guidance from agricultural and veterinary officers to turn their success into effective leadership and responsible citizenship.
He stressed that the program is not mere consumption but a serious investment in the future.
As a representative of the Municipal Assembly, Mr. Allotey pledged commitment to ensuring that every policy implemented translates into tangible improvements in the lives of Ga Central residents, marking the beginning of greater opportunities and prosperity for the municipality.
In a passionate address to the NAP beneficiaries, the Greater Accra Regional Coordinator, Jones Klutse, reiterated the importance of protecting the program and ensuring its success.
“Hold this program dearly; do not harm it or embarrass President Mahama. Do not give anyone cause to regret investing in this program,” Mr. Klutse appealed.
He further urged the beneficiaries, the hard-working MCE, and coordinating directors to collaborate with stakeholders so that the program achieves its goals.
Mr. Klutse also informed beneficiaries that they would receive stipends pending validation of the program, after which payments would be made to the master craftsmen and apprentices.
“Once the validation is completed, all payments will be made to the master craftsmen and apprentices,” he added.
The ‘Nkokɔ Nkitinkiti’ youth apprenticeship and master support program was formally declared launched during the event, with officials highlighting its role in fostering economic growth and youth development in Ga Central.
Some beneficiaries of ‘Nkokɔ Nkitinkiti’ expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the President for such a noble and kind gesture.
