‘Nakhid: Foster must apologize to the nation’s youth’

Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs, Senator David Nakhid, has accused Opposition Senator, Foster Cummings of betraying the nation’s youth during his time as former Minister of Youth Development and National Service. While giving his contributions in the Senate yesterday, he said that one programme from the 38 he went through, namely Fuse, costed $74,000 per student for 3 months. Senator Nakhid remarked that very few of those said programmes could have allowed young men and women to enter the job market. Cummings said the programmes were part of the PNM government’s youth policy to create training opportunities in a short time to treat with an immediate problem.

‘Revamp the Youth Agricultural Homestead Programme’

This is a suggestion to revamp the YAHP programme. YAHP, launched by the Ministry of Youth would be better utilized according to several experienced, professional farmers, as the money and resources would be better directed toward farmers who were in production.
