Passing-Out Ceremony of 250 Artisans in Binduri: Empowering Local Talent for Economic Growth


*Binduri, Ghana* — A vibrant ceremony marked the graduation and startup launch of 250 newly trained artisans in Binduri, a significant step in promoting economic growth and self-sufficiency within the community. On October 24, 2024, Hon. Abdulai Abanga, Member of Parliament (MP) and Deputy Minister for Local Government, Decentralization and Rural Development (LGDRD), collaborated with the Ghana Enterprise Authority to provide essential startup kits to the artisans. The event took place at the District Assembly forecourt, gathering local leaders, community members, and officials to celebrate this achievement.


Hon. Ayinga Yakubu, District Chief Executive (DCE) of Binduri, delivered the keynote address, emphasizing the indispensable role artisans play in the local economy. He highlighted that artisans contribute significantly to the development of the community and that their entrepreneurship drives both growth and employment.


Supporting Diverse Skills and Trades


The artisans trained come from a wide range of trades, including dressmaking, hairdressing, electrical work, carpentry, makeup artistry, barbering, masonry, welding, motor mechanics, satellite installation, weaving, and more. Each artisan received a startup kit tailored to their trade, enabling them to begin or expand their businesses immediately. These tools are not only a foundation for their work but a stepping stone toward achieving economic independence and stability.


The Ghana Enterprise Authority, in collaboration with the Ministry, seeks to build a vibrant and sustainable economy through initiatives like this, empowering individuals to leverage their skills and make meaningful contributions to society.


Encouraging Entrepreneurial Spirit and Community Support


In his address, the DCE encouraged the artisans to view their achievements as more than just personal milestones. He urged them to share their success stories with friends, family, and the wider community, showcasing how hard work, skills, and the right support can transform lives. Additionally, he highlighted the importance of the upcoming December 7, 2024, elections, urging artisans and community members to vote #1 to continue building on this development momentum.


A Bright Future Ahead for Binduri’s Artisans


The passing-out ceremony signifies more than just the end of training; it marks the beginning of a new chapter for these artisans. With tools and skills in hand, they are now ready to offer valuable services within Binduri and beyond, contributing to the local economy and enhancing the quality of life for residents. Initiatives like these embody the #BinduriSolidarity and commitment to #ServiceToThePeople, empowering individuals and strengthening the fabric of the community.
