New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has called for greater opportunities for young Ghanaians, acknowledging the challenges many face in securing jobs, starting businesses and building a stable future.
New Patriotic Party flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has advocated for increased opportunities for Ghanaian youth, highlighting the difficulties they encounter in finding employment, launching businesses, and attaining a stable life. Addressing International Youth Day, Dr Bawumia expressed that while young individuals from various backgrounds share a collective desire for stable jobs and prosperous livelihoods, these ambitions are hampered by a shortage of job prospects and the high expense of launching and maintaining enterprises.
He emphasized that the uncertainty surrounding their future prospects has left many young people questioning their ability to realize their desired outcomes. Describing Ghana’s young population as a significant asset, Dr Bawumia commended the talent, determination, and ambition demonstrated by youth in numerous sectors. In a Facebook post on August 12, he appealed to stakeholders to maintain faith in the potential of Ghanaian youth, stressing that policymakers bear the responsibility of crafting opportunities that align with their aspirations and empower them to make a meaningful contribution to the nation's development, despite the economic and employment obstacles they face.
