Bright Ege leads bold initiative to combat youth unemployment in Volta Region

In a decisive move to address the growing challenge of youth unemployment in the Volta Region, Hon. Bright Ege, the Volta Regional Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), has launched a series of high-level engagements with key national stakeholders with a clear objective of creating sustainable employment opportunities for young people and bridge the job gap in the region.

Hon.Ege’s commitment to youth development has been evident in his recent discussions with top government officials, aimed at equipping employable youth with essential skills and job placements. As part of this initiative, he has forged strategic partnerships with key figures, including Malik Basintale, CEO of the Youth Employment Authority; Ruth Dela Sedoh, Deputy CEO of the National Service Authority; Dr. Kwesi Dzokoto, Deputy CEO of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) in charge of Operations; and Major (Rtd) Dr. Joseph Kuyon, Director General of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO).

These collaborative efforts have given rise to the Reset Agenda, a bold and ambitious program designed to tackle youth unemployment through job creation, skill development, and entrepreneurial support across the Volta Region.

Describing the initiative as forward-thinking, Mr. Ege emphasized that the Reset Agenda prioritizes economic empowerment by providing young people with the necessary tools and resources to thrive in an evolving job market.

His leadership has drawn widespread praise for its proactive approach to addressing unemployment. Hon. Ege has demonstrated a strong commitment to the region’s future by fostering key partnerships and securing job opportunities, ensuring that young people remain central to its development.

“This initiative is not just an NDC program—it is a regional movement,” he stated while addressing the media. “The success of the Reset Agenda requires the collective support of government agencies, businesses, civil society organizations and most importantly, the youth themselves.”
