Prahgia Riders in Techiman cautioned to stay away from girls
It is public knowledge that Tricycles popularly known as Prahgia have become a major way of transportation in our towns despite their operations being illegal and most of the riders are Youths who are sexually active.
In view of this, a Non-Governmental Organization that targets adolescent sexual reproductive health “Purim African Youth Development Platform” (PAYDP) together with the Ghana Police Service, Department of Social Welfare, and other Stakeholders have trained Prahgia Riders on Sexual & Gender-based violence and teenage pregnancies as well as force or early marriages.
Speaking in an interview with our correspondent Nana Kwadwo Adu in Techiman during the training workshop, Madam Millicent Ocloo Bono East regional programs Officer for PAYDP cautioned Prahgia Riders to stay away from girls in order not to face the rigors of the laws.

For his part, Mr. Ameyaw Nicholas Regional Director of Non-Formal Education Division in charge of Bono, Bono East, and Ahafo urged Prahgia Riders who might have dropped out of school to take advantage of the government’s functional literacy program to update their knowledge.
At the training, the Prahgia Riders also enjoyed free medical or health screening from PAYDP in which Mrs. Eunice Acheampomaa Siaw a Senior Nurse at Abrafi Women and Children’s Hospital in Techiman also gave this piece of advice….
