Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has told Ghanaians to expect more jobs to be created by the government through various initiatives.<\/b><\/p>\n

He said that over the past seven years, the government has created 2.1million jobs<\/p>\n

Dr Bawumia made this statement when he launched the government’s latest business and youth intervention, the Business and Employment Assistance Programme in Sunyani on Monday, December 11.<\/p>\n

The initiative, driven by the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), seeks to support 10,000 businesses owned by young Ghanaians, to employ 20,000 youth, whose salaries will be paid by the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), he said.<\/p>\n

The jobs expected tobe created under the initiative will add to the 2.1 million jobs already created, he said.<\/p>\n

This, he added, will help to sustain and grow these businesses, as well as provide job opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Business and Employment Assistance Programme and other youth interventions under the YEA and under agencies, underline our government’s commitment to creating more jobs and opportunities to the youth, in addition to the 2.1m jobs created by the government in the past seven years in the public and private sectors respectively,\u201d the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) said.<\/p>\n

This morning, I launched the Government’s latest business and youth intervention, the Business and Employment Assistance Programme in Sunyani.<\/p>\n
