Gov’t to launch Entrepreneurship Jobs for youth in mining regions
The National Alternative Employment and Livelihoods Programme for Illegal Miners (NAELP) will, on November 28, launch an Entrepreneurship Jobs for Ghanaian youth in mining regions, dubbed: “E-Jobs4All”.
The initiative is expected to train 10,000 Ghanaian youth in mining regions in entrepreneurship and innovation over a period of five years.
This represents a significant partnership between the NAELP, Community and Entrepreneurial Development Initiative (CEDI Ghana), Dumin-Deshpande Queen’s Innovation Centre (DDQIC) at the Queen’s University, Canada, and Leadogo Incorporated.
This was in a release issued by Dr Louise Carol Serwaa Donkor, the National Coordinator of NAELP, and copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra on Tuesday.
It said the training would equip young, innovative and entrepreneurial talents with the essential skills required to thrive in the world of entrepreneurship.
Through the E-Job4All, beneficiaries are expected to gain access to a wealth of opportunities, including entrepreneurship and innovative training provided by the prestigious Dunin-Deshpande Queen’s Innovation Centre.
Additionally, they would receive invaluable advisory services from seasoned experts within the influential Leadogo Incorporated Limited.
The E-Job4All addresses the NAELP’s mandate of promoting sustainable and resilient businesses within mining communities.
“By fostering the growth of existing businesses, we create an environment that can absorb the talents and ambitions of unemployed youth, actively contributing to the development of their respective regions,” the release said. —GNA

The State through the Attorney General (AG) has filed an appeal at the Supreme Court challenging the suspension of the trial in the case of The Republic v Hanan Aludiba and Faiza Seidu.
On Monday, the Court of Appeal suspended the trial in the case. But the prosecution says it has filed an appeal against the suspension order.
According to the update, the law does not allow a criminal trial to be suspended simply because an accused person has complained about some of the charges on the charge sheet, particularly when those complaints were dismissed as meritless.
It argues that if the Court of Appeal’s decision is allowed to stand, no prosecution will ever be possible, since all it would take for a trial to be suspended is an accused person complaining about anything on the charge sheet.
