Juba, 30 April, 2022 / 3:20 pm (ACI Africa).
The Auxiliary Bishop of South Sudan’s Juba Archdiocese has called on the government to work toward implementing “proper laws and policies” that will contribute to ending massive youth unemployment in the East-Central African nation.
Speaking during the 13th graduation ceremony at St. Vincent De Paul Vocational and Community Development Center in Juba Thursday, April 28, Bishop Santo Loku Pio Doggale said the starting point would be to create the job opportunities for South Sudanese.
“The government should implement proper laws and policies to regulate employment to end youth unemployment in the Country,” Bishop Loku said, and added, “Government needs to create laws and orders that there are things every citizen should do in a different field of work.”
When there is law and order with regard to employment, those graduating from institutions of higher learning will have “more opportunities” and even “chances for jobs”, the South Sudanese Bishop said.
“These are the chances we want you to create for our young people to work,” the 52-year-old Catholic Church leader emphasized.
