LAWYER ERIC ADJEI EMPOWERS JAMAN NORTH YOUTH WITH “WORK-AND-PAY” MOTORBIKE INITIATIVE
In a major boost to local transport and youth employment, Lawyer Eric Adjei facilitated the acquisition of an initial fleet of 10 motorbikes (Pragya) for the youth of the Jaman North Constituency. Recognizing that these motorbikes serve as the major source of transportation for the area, this initiative aims to streamline transit while providing a sustainable career path for young residents. The official presentation was held yesterday, where Lawyer Adjei was joined by the District Chief Executive (DCE), Honorable George Adane, to hand over the keys and mark the beginning of this transformative project.
To ensure the program’s longevity and reach as many people as possible, these 10 motorbikes are being distributed on a work-and-pay basis. This strategic approach ensures that the project is self-sustaining through a revolving fund; as the first group of beneficiaries makes regular payments, the accumulated funds will be used to purchase additional motorbikes for others. This model encourages financial discipline and responsibility, allowing the youth to eventually own their vehicles outright through their own hard work and consistent commitment to the scheme.
During the presentation yesterday, the leaders offered stern but encouraging advice, urging the youth to handle the motorbikes with care and maintain them as valuable business assets. A strong emphasis was placed on safety and professional conduct, with a clear call for all riders to respect the police and strictly adhere to road regulations. By fostering a culture of discipline and mutual respect between the riders and law enforcement, the initiative seeks to ensure that the transport sector remains safe, orderly, and respected by all residents of the constituency.
The people of Jaman North expressed profound gratitude for the initiative, noting that such practical interventions are exactly what the constituency needs to thrive. By reinvesting the returns from the initial fleet, the project creates a “rolling” cycle of employment destined to benefit dozens of families over time. Beneficiaries and community members alike praised Lawyer Adjei’s vision to turn this pilot of 10 motorbikes into a constituency-wide movement of entrepreneurship, ensuring that the transport sector remains a robust engine for community-led progress and financial independence.
