The politician noted that investigations into the Australian Visa scandal which Pius was implicated in was never resolved and he is still suffering the tag. “No one was punished for the scandal and Pius still carries the tag around. Performing excellently in this new role is how he can redeem himself. We want him to meet expectations of the youth and create more jobs for them.”
He charged the Pius Hadzide led NYA to orient the youth and instill in them good values to develop the country. “The incidence of fraud is high in Ghana now and the younger ones seeing their colleagues drive around in flashy cars interests others. But the NYA should lead the charge to educate the youth to be responsible citizens.”
In a discussion on Happy98.9FM’s Epa Hoa Daben political talk show hosted by Don Kwabena Prah, Koku Nenegbe was sure Pius will transfer his expertise from the various ministries to efficiently execute his mandate as NYA boss.
