Zijin Urged to Create Sustainable Jobs for Youth in Akyem
Oseadeayo Dr. Frimpong Manso calls for lasting jobs for Akyem communities as Zijin Mining takes over operations.
Stakeholders in Akyem have pressed Zijin Mining to establish lasting employment avenues for local youth.
The push comes after the Chinese-owned firm assumed control of Newmont Akyem Development Company two years prior.
Oseadeayo Dr. Frimpong Manso highlighted that sustainable job creation must be woven into the company's operations across its mining zones.
The call stresses that such positions would provide direct livelihood pathways for young people within the firm's operational footprint.
Community leaders in Akyem have voiced frustration over temporary hiring practices that fail to offer enduring prospects.
Transformations in mining structures are seen as essential to guarantee long-term workforce engagement for residents.
Zijin Mining's continued presence is viewed as a pivotal moment for reshaping employment models in the mining districts.
