President John Dramani Mahama joined the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) to mark this year’s International Youth Day in the country.

He spent the day with some distinguished young Ghanaian entrepreneurs who have set up their own businesses and employed their colleagues.

Most of these businesses are said to have been possible because of the help extended to the youth by the YES initiative.

President Mahama also interacted and listened to the concerns of thousands of young Ghanaians recruited under the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) at the Elwak Sports Stadium, Friday.

YEA has been mandated to recruit over 120, 000 youth in the country into various modules.

Welding can be a luxury the President seemed to be asking.

How has the work been like? The President wonders
