The New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has once again emphasized his dedication to tackling the pressing issue of youth unemployment in Ghana, promising a bold initiative to create one million jobs if he wins the presidency.

Addressing a crowd in Kpando, Volta Region, Bawumia laid out his vision, which centers on providing digital skills to young Ghanaians, regardless of their formal education level. His goal is to equip them with the tools necessary to thrive in the growing global digital economy.

He underscored that youth unemployment is a national crisis that requires immediate and innovative solutions.

The NPP flagbearer assured that his government would make the digital skills training accessible to all, even those without formal education, enabling them to work for international companies from their hometowns.

Bawumia also pledged to create a conducive environment for tech-based businesses and start-ups, saying, “All the youth, we need jobs. I am going to give one million youths digital skills in Ghana. Everybody, even if you are a school dropout, we can give you digital skills.

“You will stay in Kpando and work in America, in Germany, in Japan, in the UK, and in the US. Work right from here with your digital skills.”
