The Deputy Minority Chief Whip and Member of Parliament for Banda in the Brong Ahafo Region, Ahmed Ibrahim has recommended that the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the National Youth Authority (NYA) design subjects which will educate school children and the youth on the adverse effects and dangers of illegal migration.<\/p>\n

According to him this will deter the youth from undertaking such deadly and dangerous journeys.<\/p>\n

Brong Ahafo is noted as a transit point for youths in the country who make the trip to Libya and subsequently to Europe to seek greener pastures.<\/p>\n

The Banda MP who lamented over the issue said he will rally his other colleague MPs in the Brong Ahafo Region to put resources together in a bid to develop the entrepreneurial skills of youth in the area to reduce the incidence of immigration.<\/p>\n

The Banda MP noted that issues of illegal migration and unemployment have become global threats to development and called for a holistic approach in tackling it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Deputy Minority Chief Whip made this known when he was named as the young politician of the year in Brong Ahafo.<\/p>\n

The Brong Ahafo Young Achievers Awards is a scheme to award hardworking individuals and organizations for their dedication and exemplary leadership.<\/p>\n

The programme was on the theme \u201cCurbing the problem of illegal migration in the Brong Ahafo region\u201d and was organised by Kingdom Management with support from Brong Ahafo NYA and International Organization for Migration.<\/p>\n

He complained that there is currently disunity amongst Members of Parliament which he said affected development\u00a0in the Region.<\/p>\n

“In Brong Ahafo, both NDC and NPP the political struggle for supremacy is too much. When a party wins power, their MPs do things without consulting the opponent. So, we do not unite and solve our problems but it is different in others regions. We the parliamentarians from this region have to unite irrespective of our political divide to help enlighten our youth, right from the Senior High School on how to make it in the country through entrepreneurship and career development seminars to sustain their interest in working here and investing in our economy. This should be our priority rather than unnecessary bickering and power struggle,” he lamented.<\/p>\n

Other awardees were Nana Kyei Adoma Samuel (KAS) of Suncity Radio, Alhaji Yahya of Ark FM, Kofi Adoma of Adoma FM, Aboagye Boadi Yaw of Space FM, Angel Kwadwo Brefo of Winners FM and Sandra Ozwald, who won the overall best youth achiever for her quality men\u2019s shoes from her manufacturing company Ozwald Shoes.<\/p>\n

‘Slave trade in Libya’<\/strong><\/p>\n

In November 2017, footages from CNN of youth from Sub-saharan Africa being sold at slave markets<\/strong><\/a> in Libya went viral, attracting International criticism.<\/p>\n

The heartbreaking images also showed some migrants being tortured to death by individuals in Libyan military wears.<\/p>\n

Following the story, some 127 Ghanaians<\/strong><\/a> were subsequently rescued from Libya after reports that these Ghanaians and some other black Africans were reported to have been subjected to inhumane treatment after giving away their life\u2019s earnings and making torturous journeys through the Sahara hoping to make it big in Europe.<\/p>\n
