President Agyekum Kufuor has said that the National Youth Employment Programme launched during the latter part of last year remains on course and would be sustained and improved upon.
He said the lessons learnt from 2006 will be fed into this year's programme to explore both short and long term opportunities for the youth.
President Kufuor said this in his State of the Nation Address to Parliament in Accra on Thursday.
He said other projects and programmes for the year include preparations of a National Employment Policy and implementation of the Programme of Action for eliminating the worst forms of child abuse while the finalization of the NGO and Trust Bill and Persons with Disability Bill would be submitted to Parliament.
On Science, he said the whole purpose of the reform is to encourage the development of a scientific and development outlook.
The President said during the year, work on the establishment of two Bio-technology centres and a National Accelerator Laboratory would commence soon.
Construction of a Library and Computer Centre for the newly established College of Nuclear Sciences will soon begin, he added.
