A Technical team from the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) led by the Chief Executive Officer, Mr Kofi Baah Agyepong today paid a working visit to the Komenda Sugar Development Company Ltd at the Komenda Edina Eguafo Abirem Municipality in the Central Region.
The visit was to afford the Chief Executive Officer and his Executive management team to ascertain the feasibility of his plan to venture into sugarcane plantation with the youth of the area and other communities, to feed the factory which is currently not producing sugar due to lack of raw materials.
At a short meeting with the Management Committee of the Komenda Sugar Development Company, Mr Agyepong noted that plans were far advanced to create employment for thousands of youth through the sugarcane value chain whilst at the same time supporting the factory to get back into sugar production.
The Board Chairman of the Komenda Sugar Development Company, Major General Richardson Baiden (rtd), and his members were highly elated by the proposed partnership, and expressed confidence and optimism about the potential for the production of enough sugar for local consumption and export.
In attendance from the Youth Employment Agency head office were, the Technical Services Director, Christopher Joojo Arthur, Corporate Affairs Director, Kwasi Afriyie, Director of Finance Benjamin Otoo, Director at the CEO’s office, Agya Yaw Nsiah, Director of Administration, Mary Nsiah, M&E Director Joe Sakyi Louis, Director of Legal Henry Asante and the YEA Central Regional Director, Madam Sarah Afful.
