THE MEMBER of Parliament for<br />

North Tongu in the Volta Region,<br />

Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa,<br />

has announced that he, together<br />

with the traditional leadership of<br />

his constituency, has received a communication<br />

that a textile manufacturing company to<br />

be opened at Dawa will offer about 2000 jobs<br />

to the youth in the constituency.<br />

He said “after our interaction and they<br />

have decided that they are coming to set up a<br />

textile manufacturing company in the Dawa<br />

free zone enclave with an initial workforce of<br />

2000 workers. They have decided that they<br />

“I am appealing to<br />

the organisers [of the<br />

festival] to take on<br />

additional<br />

responsibilities. The<br />

issues to do with<br />

teenage pregnancy<br />

are not too good.<br />

• Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, MP for North Tongu<br />

(workers) will all come from North Tongu<br />

and the Mepe youth will surely be a priority.”<br />

The former Deputy Minister of Education,<br />

who was speaking at the launch of the<br />

festival at Holiday Inn in Accra on July 19, explained<br />

that “because the delegation was led<br />

by Togbe Kwasi Nego VI, Manklalo of Mepe<br />

Traditional Area, it makes it easier for the<br />

youth within the area to be employed at the<br />

factory that would be sewing nursing uniforms<br />

for nurses in the United States of America.<br />

“They were not too sure about the workforce<br />

to feed the factory if they were to set up,<br />

but after looking at Ghana, Togo and Ivory<br />

Coast, fortunately they have settled on Ghana<br />

and our youth are going to get jobs to do,” he<br />

added.<br />
