Former President John Dramani, has bemoan the lack of opportunities for the Ghanaian youth, claiming that the rising youth unemployment and increasing cost of living has rendered many hopeless in the country.
According to Mr. Mahama, the youth play a very significant role in the development of the country, and as a result should be given the opportunities to contribute to the country’s transformational agenda.
“Our youth have been key agents of change and development throughout our nation’s history.
To ensure a brighter future, we must empower a generation of skilled youth, create decent jobs, and support the youth to transform our country, Africa, and the world.
“A new NDC administration will work urgently to equip our youth with the entrepreneurial knowledge and skills needed for a sustainable future.
We will introduce a 24-hour economy with incentives and tax breaks for manufacturers who will run extra shifts to create more room for employment.
We will work to ease the burden of taxes imposed by this NPP administration on Ghanaian businesses and investors, which has robbed Ghana of its envious position as one of Africa’s leading destinations for investment.”
