Ali Adolf, Ghana’s Northern Regional Minister-designate, has vowed to address the persistent ‘Kayayei’ phenomenon, which sees young girls from rural areas migrating to cities in search of work.

Speaking before the Appointments Committee in Parliament on Thursday, Adolf acknowledged that the issue is rooted in high unemployment in the Northern Region, leading young girls to leave their communities for urban centres such as Accra. He emphasized the importance of creating jobs at home to provide more sustainable opportunities for the youth.

When asked about his plans to address the issue, Adolf committed to creating job opportunities that would encourage young girls to stay in their communities. “I want them back home, and I will do everything possible to make home attractive so they return,” he said.

He outlined plans for initiatives in areas such as tailoring, hairdressing, farming, and other income-generating ventures designed to align with the local economy’s needs. These programs, he said, would offer young people viable alternatives to migrating for work.

“There will be jobs for the youth, and when the jobs come, nobody will need to tell them that home is now better than it was,” Adolf added.
