The Chief Ima, Sheik Dr. Osman Nuhu Sharubutu has expressed worry over the rise in unemployment among the youth of the country and has called on the government to address the worrying situation.
According to him, there is the need for government to implement policies and programmes that will create job opportunities for the teeming youth of the country.
The spokesperson for the Chief Imam, Sheikh Aremeyaw Shaibu who spoke on his behalf said “Unemployment is an issue and young people who are growing will have to have hope.
When they go to school, they want to return and also do something for themselves so we want a situation where policy will be directed towards ensuring that greater opportunity is created”.
Meanwhile, the Christian Council of Ghana also called on the government to also invest in and develop the youth for the growth of the country.
“One area that attention must be given to is the development of our young people. Ghanaian young people are not lazy. They are determined, they want to work but we must be a country that gives hope and opportunities to our young people and it should not be hope outside us, it must be hope within and those who have resources to invest, must invest in this country for young people to get employment.”
