Leader of Opposition Matthew Wale has called on the Government for National Unity and Transformation (GNUT) to come-up with an effective policy to address youth unemployment in the country.
The call came following what Wale described as “no serious plan” by GNUT to tackle youth unemployment, even other pressing issues face by youths.
The Opposition Leader highlighted the above this week in his official response to the 2025 speech from the throne by Governor General, Sir David Tiva Kapu.
Recalling the speech Kapu had spoken of empowerment for youths that make up 70 percent of the country’s population.
“His Excellency acknowledged in his 2025 speech from the throne that youth make up 70% of our population and spoke of empowerment.
“Yet, government has not presented a serious plan to tackle youth unemployment,” Wale said.
He added that no targeted job creation strategy, no clear investment in youth enterprises and no practical pathways from education to employment have been delivered.
“Promises of inclusion mean little if an entire generation is left without opportunity,” Wale said.
The government’s failure to empower youths has resulted in number of setbacks the country continues to face.
