Beneficiaries of the garment and textile module would be hired based on merit, according to Alhaji Ibrahim Bashiru, the Youth Employment Agency's (YEA) deputy chief executive officer in charge of operations.

He emphasized that only those with the necessary talents would be given the opportunity to work; no one would be chosen based on political affiliations.

He claimed during an appearance on the Asaase Breakfast Show that the creation of jobs for young people will enhance their quality of life and advance the economy.

“It is not the creation of jobs for political parties. It is the creation of jobs for young people in this country and the overall effect is how you can improve upon your lives; how you can contribute significantly to the growth of this country," Alhaji Bashiru stated.

He added that, “I think that at this point in time, this is skills training and I can state emphatically without mincing words that under no circumstances will someone be considered because of party affiliations.”

This module was launched after the apparel and clothing sector worked with the youngsters Employment Agency to teach prospective unemployed youngsters the necessary skills to become qualified dressmakers and tailors.
