Let’s Change the narrative and Kick Poverty out of Africa – Liberia Vice President tells Youth
Liberia’s Vice President H.E Jewel Howard Taylor has called on the Youth in Africa to change the narrative and kick poverty out of Africa.
Speaking at the launch of the SOS-Nekotech USA-Canada Master’s Degree Work-Study Program monitored by Ahotor 92.3 Fm, H.E Taylor urged the African Youth to take advantage of the Study abroad program to acquire knowledge for the benefit of the African continent.
She called for a bond to be signed to make returning to Africa after the program mandatory.
“We have to make sure that these young people actually sign a bond to come back home, because we do lose a lot of young people going abroad and seeing all of the beautiful things coming back becomes difficult” She said.
The SOS-Nekotech study abroad programe will see some students across the Africa Continent have the opportunity to work and study legally in the United States of America and Canada.
Upon completion of the two years Master’s degree, the five year STEM package offers three years of practical training with salaries $60,000-$150,000/year.
