According to the MCE, the program, initiated by President John Dramani Mahama, aims to provide young people with relevant on-the-job experience and market-ready skills.

Additionally, master craftsmen will be eligible to receive GH¢200 per apprentice.
Hon. Raymond Nana Ebbah generously donated GH¢10,000 to support the Muslim community during their Maiden Annual District Islamic Convention and Fundraising.

Hon. Ebbah commended the Muslim community for their unity and contributions to Amenfi development.
He assured them of the assembly’s support for educational and social advancement projects with the aim to construct teacher training college.
The MCE told the Muslims that newly recruited Arabic teachers will soon be posted to teach Arabic education in Islamic schools in Amenfi East.
This move, according to him, is expected to enhance the quality of Islamic education in the area.
