Nanewortor, the Assembly Member for Mepe in the North Tongu District, has initiated a project at Mepe to help address the problem of high unemployment, confronting the youth, through the development of creeks, which abounds in the area, into fishponds. He said that there were natural resources in the North Tongu District, particularly Mepe, which could be properly harnessed to the benefit of society, but due to lack of financial support to help develop such potentials, which Mr. Nanewortor observed could create opportunities for the youth, have been left untapped over the years.
Nanewortor made this known to Volta File at Mepe, where he launched a five-year development project, aimed at creating jobs for the youth in the area of fishing. He told that the project had a greater capacity to create employment, for the growing number of youth without jobs in the area. He opined that already the various land owners in the area, had released lands for the project, as well as chiefs in the Mepe traditional area, who have all pledged their support for the project, because they were of the view that it was a viable venture.
Accordignto him fishing industry had the great potential of creating jobs for the people, and pointed out that fish farming was a lucrative venture, as it already has an existing market in the Mepe area. He advised the youth to take advantage of the opportunity and to engage themselves in self-employed business activities.
