The Vice President and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, says the concerns and aspirations of the youth are his top priorities. He said he would, therefore, work tirelessly to create decent and sustainable jobs for them, under his presidency. Speaking during a Youth Connect programme at the Borteyman Sports Complex in Accra, on Sunday, Dr Bawumia unveiled a comprehensive vision for job creation to transform the Ghanaian economy.
He entreated the youth to trust him to protect the public purse and serve them selflessly under his presidency. In a passionate address, Dr Bawumia emphasised commitment to making the youth his top priority, promising to introduce bold, and business-friendly policies designed to create close to four million jobs. The NPP Flagbearer reflected on the economic challenges Ghanaians had faced in recent years, particularly the prolonged power outages that plagued the nation, during the erstwhile Mahama-led administration.
He recalled how those outages severely impacted productivity across various sectors, thus, leading to widespread job losses. Dr Bawumia, therefore, urged the youth to consider the two choices in voting on December 7 – a return to “past failures” or the opportunity for “renewed leadership” focused on progress and recovery. He reiterated that the voices and ideas of the youth would be integral to shaping his government’s policies. His vision includes completing the Agenda 111 hospitals, which would employ between 70,000 and 72,000 health personnel and ensuring that every district has access to healthcare services.
