The Northern Regional Minister, Ali Adolf John, has opposed the initiative by former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, to establish a training center for Kayayei at Madina, Accra.
According to a report by gbcghanaonline.com, the minister rubbished the concept, arguing that it would only promote migration of young girls from the northern sector to the capital city, Accra.
He indicated that the young girls are needed in their local communities and hence such projects could rather be situated in their hometowns. "I am strongly against promoting kayayei in Accra because we need our girls at home," he reiterated.
He indicated that such projects would best serve the purpose if the beneficiaries are within their local communities.
