In spite of the present economic difficulties, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has maintained that the government has produced over 2 million jobs in the previous seven years.

Statistics, according to Dr. Bawumia, show that the number is still the highest since the nation’s independence.

At the onset of a cash distribution for YOUSTART program recipients in Accra, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia declared that the government would take further action to generate employment opportunities for the nation’s youth.

“What is remarkable is that, notwithstanding the global economic challenges, major global economic disruptions that have taken place with regard to COVID-19 that many of you have talked about and its implications on businesses as well as the Russia-Ukraine war, notwithstanding these global challenges, our government over the last seven years has created 2.1 million jobs. This is the highest number of jobs created by any government since the Fourth Republic,” Vice President Dr. Bawumia stated.
