Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah has begun a project dubbed the "JOB Summit" aimed at sensitizing the youth in the nation about the government's vision for the youth.

The event targets the youth and is to expose them to opportunities to develop entrepreneurial skills.

It is also to acquaint the youth with the 2016 Manifesto of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).

It involves direct engagements with students in Tertiary and Senior High Schools as well as youth groups.

The maiden event which climaxed the Chief of Staff's six-day campaign tour of the Brong Ahafo region took place at the Eusbert Hotel at Sunyani on Friday.

Key speakers included Deputy Communications Minister, Ato Sarpong, Emelia Arthur, a Presidential Staffer as they took turns to explain the good works of President John Dramani Mahama to the youth.

Madam Emelia Arthur noted that the President has committed himself to infrastructure expansion and development, adding that "there is evidence across all sectors of the economy where expanded infrastructure has created thousands of jobs through the construction stage to those formally employed after the completion of the projects."

She also made reference to several social intervention programmes like the YEA, YES, MASLOC, Vocational Skills training in institutions and other forms of financial support to small and medium-scale businesses.
