Tamale North Member of Parliament, Alhassan Suhuyini has said Ghana’s current unemployment rate is close to what existed pre-independence.
He said the rate is increasing due to the failure of the government to institute the right response to unemployment in Ghana
Contributing to a discussion on TV3’s New Day with Johnnie Hughes on Tuesday April 12, he said the increasing rate indicates that Ghanaians are saddled with extreme difficulties at the moment.
“The unemployment situation which by the way has increased in the last five years from about 5 to almost 19 per cent as we speak, that is close to pre-independence unemployment rate.
“That tells you that we are really in difficult times and and the responses that we have been given over the years to the unemployment problem is not yielding the results that we all desire,” he said.
