Alhaji Seidu Agongo and NEIP Equip 850 Hohoe Apprentices with Sewing Machines Under ‘Switch to Sustain’ Initiative

A total of 850 apprentices in Hohoe have received sewing machines to help launch and grow their enterprises. The presentation was made possible through a strategic partnership between businessman Alhaji Seidu Agongo and the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP) under the ‘Switch to Sustain’ initiative.

​Designed to tackle youth unemployment and bolster local enterprise, the intervention aims to empower young entrepreneurs and strengthen vocational skills across the municipality. By providing these essential startup tools, the partnership removes a major financial barrier, enabling the beneficiaries to transition smoothly from training into establishing self-sustaining businesses.

​Addressing the recipients during the presentation ceremony, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of NEIP, Joan Selasie Ahiawordor Esq., underscored the importance of maintaining high standards in their craft. She urged the newly equipped artisans to prioritise excellence and cultivate strong customer relationships as they step into the competitive market.

​“Pay attention to the quality of your work and, above all, respect your clients,” she advised. She further emphasised that combining professionalism, quality service, and genuine respect for customers will be the true foundation for building successful, long-lasting businesses.
