Former President John Dramani Mahama has stated there are no ready jobs hence our economy is in crisis.
“There are no ready jobs to absorb you. It may take years for you to find decent employment. There are cases of students who remain unemployed five years after completing university. Unemployment in Ghana is at its highest in history today, estimated at 13%. Our economy is in crisis. The closure of indigenous banks and the banking sector cleanout have led to the loss of several jobs.
The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in a speech he delivered at the graduation ceremony of the Academic City University College over the weekend added that the current unemployment is estimated at 13%.
According to John Mahama the graduating student that “We left the university gates and walked into ready jobs waiting for us. There was automatic posting if you wanted to go into teaching. Many of us were retained and absorbed into workplaces where we had been posted for National Service.
“Our colleagues who made first class were quickly snapped up by prestigious banks and private corporations like UAC, Lever Brothers, now Unilever, and Standard Chartered Bank as management trainees” he added.
