Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>The Sierra Leone government is committed to creating more job opportunities for the country\u2019s youth, according to the Minister of Employment, Labour and Social Security, Mohamed Rahman Swarray.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Speaking at the government\u2019s weekly press conference, Swarray said that the government is committed to giving the youth all the skills and support they need to succeed. He added that President Bio has taken youth employment as a priority and a national security threat, and is working tirelessly to create more jobs for young people.<\/p>\n

One of President Bio\u2019s key five changers is youth empowerment, Swarray said. He believes that creating a platform for foreign investors and other partners to come and invest in Sierra Leone will also create more jobs for the youth.\u201cThe President is targeting to create 500,000 jobs by the end of 2028,\u201d Swarray said.<\/p>\n

Creating an enabling environment and attracting investors are two of the government\u2019s main goals in creating more jobs for the youth, Swarray added. He also noted that digital jobs can be very productive for the youth, citing Nigeria as an example.<\/p>\n

Swarray also said that the government will recover jobs held by unregistered foreign nationals who have no business doing such jobs in Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have many foreigners with no work permits, doing jobs that should be done by Sierra Leoneans. That is going to stop,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The government\u2019s commitment to creating more jobs for the youth is a welcome development. Sierra Leone has a young and growing population, and it is important to provide them with the opportunities they need to succeed. By creating more jobs, the government can help to reduce poverty, improve livelihoods, and build a more prosperous future for Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n
