Economist and lecturer at ICDE-College of Education, University of Ghana, and Valley View University Dr. Julius Kattah, has opined that the Nation Builders’ Corps (NABCO) has not been effective in creating sustainable jobs for the unemployed youth.
The lecturer noted that although the country has pumped in several billions of Ghana cedis into NABCO and other short-term job initiatives, they have not been effective.
Dr. Kattah said unemployment remains a threat to the country and yet, our leaders are only rolling out unsustainable jobs.
The policy analyst indicated that we need sustainable jobs that will resolve the unemployment crisis.
He asserted that the unemployed are struggling and the government must create suitable opportunities for them.
“We need to be up and doing and ensure we create suitable jobs and not temporal jobs,” he added.
He advised the government to invest in the extractive sector since it could create new jobs.
He believes we must move away from taxation to production and industrialization.
He was speaking on Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm.
