On Tuesday, 14/11/2023, I joined the @VP_Jalloh at the Job Creation Conference as part of second edition of the National Youth Employment and Enterpreneurship Fair.
The Vice President assured business executives and private sector representatives of Government’s commitment to creating the enabling environment for job creation.
In closing the conference, I informed participants that His Excellency President Bio’s manifesto commitment to youth employment would be underpinned by a comprehensive national job creation strategy that will guide and support Government efforts to reduce the burden of unemployment.

I launched the second edition of the National Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship Fair #NYEEF today, a four-day networking and learning event for young women and men aged 18 to 35 organised by my Office.
