Labour Minister blames lack of creativity for rising unemployment in Ghana

The Labour, Jobs, and Employment Minister, Rashid Pelpuo, has blamed the lack of jobs in the country on a lack of creativity.
He says this has been the situation the Ghana over the years, and it became intense in the last eight years under the leadership of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Rashid Pelpuo argues that now students complete school and live in the fear that they will be unemployed, just as their predecessors have been waiting for jobs over the years.
The minister spoke to Accra-based Gh One Television when he made this known.
He explains that “unemployment is a real situation in the country. There is an accumulation of non-creative ways of creating jobs over a long period of time, especially in the last eight years, and it has accumulated in several people leaving school and having the same kind of fear that they are not going to be employed, just as their predecessors had been waiting for jobs over the years”.
