Unit Committee Member for Nyoli In the Wa West District, Mr. Tagnifaa-Engnubapuo Thomas has stated that rural urban migration in Nyoli is becoming rampant due to unavailability of jobs in the area.
Speaking to Upperwestmedia Team, he explained that market men and women have moved into small scale mining popularly referred to as Galamsey, this he identified as one reason they travel to major towns down south.
“The Youth in Nyoli have no jobs, after school there is no work to do, after school some have challenges in furthering their education due to no financial support, they can’t even save money, this has pushed the youth into small scale mining, they go down south to search for mining site and stay there to work, afterwards, some return but do not show interest in education any longer”.
