Chairman Nana Akwasi, Ashanti Regional Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress has advised youth in Bosomefreho Constituency in the Ashanti to vote wisely in election 2024 because their choice of President will determine their future.

Addressing youth at Duase, a farming community in the area during a campaign tour with his campaign team today, he empathized that, the current NPP government has subjected the youth in this Country into abject poverty to the extent of even placing tax on betting.

“It is about time we have to change our pattern of voting, let’s consider the economic indications before we decide in elections. ” He charged the youth.

He promised that, the next National Democratic Congress (NDC) government would create sustainable jobs to give the Ghanaian youth dignified living.

According to him, job creation remains the topmost priority for the next NDC government as the unemployment situation in the coun­try was becoming frustrating.

The scarcity of job opportunities compels many young individuals to resort to low-paying informal work or seek opportunities abroad, exacerbating the brain drain that hampers our national development.

“This reality perpetuates inequalities and undermines social stability, as the potentials of our youth remains untapped so we’ll create sustainable well-paying jobs for you,” he told the gathering.

He said Mahama’s promises rightly feeds into the NDC’s digitalisation agenda which is vital to the implementation of the 24-hour economy policy.

The previous NDC government, Nana Akwasi said demon­strated commitment to giving the youth digital skills.

In the view of the Ashanti regional chairman,the 24-hour economy policy which would enable one job to be shared across three shifts and employ three persons, and pro­vide job opportunities for three workers instead of one, remain the game changer for Ghana’s economy.

“Dear Duase youth, the 8-hour work system is woefully inadequate to generate the production, productivity and well-paying jobs needed to revive Ghana’s bankrupt economy. It is also inadequate to produce enough jobs for you,” he stated.

He reiterated that for the policy to thrive, the government would invest in security and public safety measures, including recruiting additional personnel and enhancing street lighting to promote nightlife economic activities.

Noting that extraordinary times require extraordinary interventions for excep­tional results, Nana Akwasi said Ghana was experiencing extraordinary hardships and the 24-hour economy initiative is the best and most extraordinary pathway to generating the decent and well-paying jobs the youth have been waiting for.

On his part, the NDC parliamentary candidate for the area, Mr Appiah Kubi who is No. #2 on the ballot promised to complete all abandoned projects in the area if elected as the next MP for the area.
