37 Manhyia South apprentices benefit from the Make Ghana Proud Shoemakers Hub Project

About 37 Apprentices at the Make Ghana Proud Shoemakers Hub Project, initiated by Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the former Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, towards reducing unemployment in the constituency have graduated.

Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh, who launched the Project during his tenure as MP for Manhyia South, affirmed his commitment to empowering the youth and artisans through skills development.

Speaking under the theme: “Empowering Hands, Elevating Dreams: Crafting Ghana’s Future”, Dr. Prempeh, also known as NAPO emphasised the critical role of vocational skills in nation-building.

According to him, the future of Ghana will not be written by what we import, but by what we build with our own hands, stressing that skills are not alternatives, but the foundation of national greatness.

The event featured the recognition of pioneer master shoemakers who have successfully completed structured training under the project’s first face.

Nana Agyei Baffuor Awuah, the current Manhyia South MP, commended Dr Opoku Prempeh for the laudable initiative and described it as a legacy that would help reduce unemployment and criminal activities within the Constituency.

He promised to ensure that the initiative is sustained to benefit more youth, especially those interested in the apprenticeship.

Nana Apau Wiafe Ababio Sanwoansan, Chief of Kwabre Heman, who presided over the event, commended the Members of Parliament for the initiative towards reducing unemployment and job creation to reduce criminal activities and immoral lifestyle among the youth, especially in the Manhyia South constituency.

He also entreated the Shoemakers to consider going into making royal (ahenemma) sandals, also known as ‘kyawkyaw’ for festive occasions, besides funerals and other occasions.

He also advised them to take the profession seriously because it is their life and future.
