President Akufo-Addo has announced plans to create some one million jobs soon when the Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta presents the mid-year budget review for the 2021 Financial Year in Parliament on Thursday, July 29, 2021.

Speaking during the Eid al-Adha celebration in Accra on Tuesday, the president said the jobs will come under the Ghana COVID-19 Alleviation and Revitalization of Enterprises Support (Ghana CARES) programme, and will be created over a three-year period.

“As has been well-publicized, a few days ago, the Ministry of Finance granted financial clearance to the Ministry of Education and the security services for the recruitment of some 11,800 people to beef up their operations. It does not end there. We will through interventions to be set out in the mid-year budget review announce plans for the creation of some one million more jobs under the Ghana CARES ‘Obaatampa’ project over the course of the next 3 years.”

“We are determined to pursue our agenda for jobs creation in order to give opportunities for our youth to nurture their talents for the development of our country,” he added.
