All ten regional Directors of the Youth Employment Agency have been asked to proceed on leave, StarrFMonline.com has gathered.

The directors were individually given letters to embark on  leave after a meeting with the new Chief Executive officer of the agency Justin Kodua Frimpong in Accra last Friday, March 31,2017.

A copy of the letter cited by StarrFMonline.com said: “You are kindly requested to proceed on your 2017 annual leave effective Monday 3rd April 2017,  to 26th May,2017.

“You are required to handover all official documents and properties in your possession to acting deputy chief executive officer (operations) before you begin your leave”.

The letter further instructed the directors to report to the acting chief executive of the agency upon their return for further directives.

One of the directors who confirmed the development to StarrFMonline.com said ” I’m currently on leave even though I do not wish to be on leave at this time”.
