The Series according to the party’s National Youth Organiser will be held across all constituencies and regions in the country to “set the record straight” on the achievements of the party in government.

Specifics
Outlining some specific Youth tailored achievements of the government, Nana B as the party’s Youth Organiser is affectionately called said under the Free SHS policy, not only have parents been relieved from the burden of school fees leading to the relief of students but the policy has also led to the creation of 45,000 jobs for the youth.
Mr. Boakye stated that, within the two years of the Akufo-Addo government, a whooping Ghc42million has been paid for the registration of BECE Candidates in the country.
He added that so far 11,500 Youth have been employed in the Youth in Agric program with an estimated 33,000 projected to be employed this year.
Mr. Boakye added that while the Mahama government supported just 69 people under the Youth Entrepreneurship Support Program within 8yrs, the NPP has supported 1350 young people under the redefined program into the National Entrepreneurship Innovative Program headed by John Kumah with a minimum support of GHC10,000 and maximum support of GHC100,000 each.
He added that restoration of Trainees allowances, payment of arrears owned by th scholarship secretariat, increase in the capitation grant by over 100% from Ghc4.5 to Ghc10 are all achievements of the government that need to be espoused loudly to the hearing of the youth.
