Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has insisted his next administration will focus more on creating jobs for the youth in the country.
According to him, Ghana is sitting on a youth time bomb because most young people are unemployed.
Speaking on Woezor TV on Sunday, August 9 he said, “In Ghana, we have a youth bulge and we are sitting on a youth time bomb. That is why my main thrust of seeking leadership again is on finding jobs for our young people. All those young people you see; the main concern and challenge they have is non-availability of jobs.”
He explained that the Mahama/Amissah Arthur administration had infrastructure as their priority. However, when he comes back again he’ll be focusing more on creating jobs for the seeming teeming youth in the country.
“When I got into office, it was social and economic infrastructure development and so I made huge investments in infrastructure. In my next administration, everything will be geared towards jobs. It is to create jobs for the young people,” Mahama said.
