The Akans often say; ‘sɛ akwadaa hunu ne nsa hohoro a, ɔne mpaninfoɔ na edidi’ to wit when a child learns to wash the hands properly, he dines with the elderly.

Indeed, Mr. Sammi Awuku at his youthful age has excelled so well in all fields of endeavour and has successfully managed all portfolios he has held including leading the Governing Board of the Youth Employment Agency to achieve the numerous results we speak of today.

Mr. Sammi Awuku selflessly supported the CEO and management in the reformation and job creation agenda of the Agency over the last four years, guiding the team through innovative ideas, great leadership skills and effective organizational skills.

Today the Agency boasts of:

• A record One Hundred and Forty-Five Thousand (145000) jobs created for the youth of this country over the last four years.

The list of unrivaled achievements goes on and on but for us as an Agency, it is simply attributed to your leadership of the Board, accommodation of varied ideas and support to management.
