The deliverables of the event, he added, are outlined in the committee\u2019s terms of reference, which he said, provides guidance on the committee\u2019s purpose, role, responsibilities, operation, tenures and obligation in accordance of PIA policy instruments.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to reassure you of my Ministry\u2019s support to PIA and to entire youth of the country,\u201d he said. Sainey Drammeh, executive director for PIA, said his institution wants to assure that all the youth that completed the programmes are awarded.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to award all levels and we will award about two thousand young people around the country.\u201d he affirmed.<\/p>\n

Drammeh noted that PIA has received great assurance from the MOYS, and added that they are also working with President Adama Barrow, who is the chief patron to ensure smooth execution of the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Nfamara Darboe, board chairperson for PIA, said the PIA board is completely prepared to award youths, who have completed various programmes and are staged the event soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have identified a NOC. And we expect them to come-up with different plans and a roadmap that will clearly spell out how the event would be implemented successfully. We want to challenge them to come up with resource mobilisation strategies because the ceremony requires enough resources.\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Darboe advised the committee to engage various stakeholders and relevant institutions including the media. \u201cWe want both technical and financial support from the ministry.\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Babucarr Kebbeh, chairperson of Gold Award Holders Association (GAHA) stated; \u201cWe want to call on the Ministry and all stakeholders that we cannot wait anymore. And the young people said they want the award ceremony to be organized soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

He thus urged MOYS to disburse enough funds for the ceremony. Fatima Sighateh, chair of NOC assured of the committee\u2019s resolve to work and deliver a successful award ceremony.<\/p>\n
