The Youth Employment Agency (YEA), under the leadership of its Chief Executive Officer, Malik Basintale, has acquired more than 10,000 electric motorcycles as part of efforts to create employment opportunities for young Ghanaians.
The initiative is aimed at supporting interested youth who wish to venture into delivery services and other commercial activities using environmentally friendly electric motorcycles.
Images circulating online show several newly acquired electric motorcycles lined up, sparking excitement among many young Ghanaians who believe the initiative could provide new income opportunities in the growing delivery and logistics sector.
The move forms part of broader efforts by the agency to address youth unemployment by equipping young people with the necessary tools to become self-employed.
According to reports, beneficiaries of the programme will use the motorcycles to provide delivery services, including transporting goods and supporting businesses that rely on fast and reliable logistics solutions.
The introduction of electric motorcycles is also expected to contribute to cleaner transportation solutions by reducing reliance on fuel-powered motorcycles and lowering operational costs for riders.
Many social media users have welcomed the development, describing it as a step in the right direction to empower young people. Others have called for transparency in the selection process to ensure that deserving youth benefit from the programme.
The YEA is expected to provide further details on the distribution process, eligibility requirements and how interested young people can apply.
