The demo dubbed Yentua to wit, we won’t pay scheduled for Thursday, February 10, 2022, will call for the payment of workers’ arrears, end to corruption, and the UTAG strike.

The march, according to the wing, will begin from 7:00 am to midday with the Obra Spot, Kwame Nkrumah Circle as the converging point.

A statement, signed by the National Youth Organiser, George Opare Addo, indicated it will be the first of many demonstrations planned for other parts of the country.

“The Youth Wing of NDC is convinced there is an urgent need for a mass protest to put pressure on government to rescind its desperate efforts on the electronic levy, end widespread corruption, redeem young people from mass unemployment, pay outstanding arrears to workers and end the UTAG endless strike immediately,” portions of the statement read.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL B.E.C.E. CANDIDATES

The National Youth Wing of the New Patriotic Party extends this special goodwill message to all Candidates for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (B.E.C.E.) which commences today Monday, June 05, 2017.

As this exam marks a very crucial stepping stone in the academic pursuits of all candidates, it is the hope and prayer of the entire youth wing that the Almighty will crown all your efforts and toil with success so as to justify all the investments made in you by your respective families and country at large.

Again, we wish to make a passionate appeal to the West African Examination Council (W.A.E.C) to take all the necessary steps to ensure that the integrity and sanctity of this year’s examination is preserved to the fullest.

W.A.E.C. has a responsibility to ensure that the perennial pain, inconvenience and psychological trauma inflicted on both parents and students as a result of its failure to observe best practices is avoided this year.

Finally, the Wing entreats all candidates to make a conscious effort to abide by all the rules and regulations associated with the conduct of this year’s examination.

We wish you all the very best of luck.

Thank you.
