The Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Mr. Eric Adjei, has revealed that vital equipment intended for training head porters, popularly known as Kayayei, was stolen from the agency’s premises following the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) loss in the 2024 general elections.
Mr. Adjei lamented that the theft had severely undermined the continuity of training programs aimed at empowering vulnerable women and improving their livelihoods.
Compounding the setback, Mr. Adjei reported that Green Hubs, established under the initiative to foster entrepreneurship, were transferred into the hands of private individuals rather than being managed for public benefit.
He described the situation as a glaring example of gross mismanagement and called for urgent corrective action and accountability.
Despite these challenges, the NEIP boss reassured stakeholders of his administration’s determination to restore the integrity of the programme. He pledged that all resources dedicated to youth and women’s empowerment would be protected and used effectively to achieve their intended purpose.
