Sierra Leone’s Vice President, Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh, inaugurated the second edition of the National Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship Fair (NYEEF).

The event aims to address and resolve various challenges faced by the youth in the country.

Vice President Jalloh revealed that President Bio is committed to providing 500,000 jobs for the youth, a key component of the government’s significant initiatives. Emphasizing a vision for cohesive, integrated, and sustainable job creation, he highlighted that the conference will unite stakeholders to contribute to the initial draft of the national job creation strategy.

His statement reads; 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.

I am thrilled to see over 500 young Sierra Leoneans committed to realising their full potential and contributing to the development of Sierra Leone.

In recognition of the youth employment challenges, @PresidentBio will create 500,000 jobs for young people as part of his BIG FIVE GAME CHANGERS. Therefore, in line with his vision for a cohesive, integrated and sustainable job creation strategy, this year at @NYEEFSL we will have a Job Creation Conference which will bring stakeholders together to contribute towards developing the first draft of the National Job Creation Strategy.

I wish everyone a productive and inspiring four days!
