In a major boost to youth employment and emergency response, the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) and the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) have signed a Memorandum of Undertaking (MOU) to recruit 5,000 Fire Service Assistants across the country.
The agreement, signed at the Ministry of the Interior, was overseen by the Minister for the Interior and witnessed by the Minister for Youth Development and Empowerment, Hon. George Opare Addo. The Acting Chief Fire Officer, Daniella Mawusi Ntow Sarpong, and YEA CEO, Malik Basintale, signed on behalf of their respective institutions.
