Job creation Ghana’s biggest challenge – Akufo-Addo
President Akufo-Addo has cited lack of jobs for the youth as the single biggest challenge facing the country.
Addressing the president of Switzerland, Doris Leuthard, who is on a
day’s official visit to Ghana, Akufo-Addo bemoaned the seriousness of
the challenge, saying there are too many young people in the country
without jobs because the economy has stagnated for so long, making job
creation an impossibility.
He thus expressed hope that the Swedish government will come to the
aid of the West African Country in her resolve to create jobs for her
teeming unemployed youth.
“Our biggest challenge is how to find work for our young people. Too
many young people in Ghana, West African and the African Continent do
not have work to do because our economies are not growing and expanding
at a sufficient rate to absorb them” Akufo-Addo told the Swiss
president.
He added that job creation is a top priority for his government and
that he will work assiduously to reverse the current debilitating
situation.
In her response, Mrs. Leuthard said it is in the interest of Europe
to assist the African Continent to generate jobs for its youth, adding
that she is hopeful that through her efforts, Swiss companies will
invest in Ghana to support the government’s job creation agenda.
