Mr. Joseph Danser, the Executive Director of the Center for Skilled Unemployment Ghana (CESU-GH), has endorsed the 24-Hour Economic policy espoused by the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama to revamp the country’s ailing economy.

Delivering a speech to students at Ghana Communication and Technology University (GCTU), Mr Danser emphasized the pressing issue of high unemployment rates among graduates in Ghana.

He said this is a problem that significantly impacts the youth and middle class across the country.

 As a former student leader, entrepreneur, and advocate for employment opportunities, Mr Danser highlighted the importance of establishing an advocacy group to push for the reality of the 24-hour economy. 

This group aims to represent skilled unemployed graduates who frequently face unfulfilled promises from political leaders, he stated. 

He criticized the government's reliance on short-term contracts, which are presented as job creation initiatives but ultimately pose economic challenges and threaten national security.

In a related interview, Mr Elvis Afriyie Ankrah criticized the governing New Patriotic Party(NPP), accusing them of failing to build a better Ghana and instead destroying the economic foundations laid by former President John Dramani Mahama. 

Mr Ankrah argued that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and President Nana Akufo-Addo have deceived Ghanaians, resulting in unaffordable prices for essential foodstuffs due to high inflation.

 He pointed out that items such as yam, plantain, rice, vegetable oil, and tomatoes have become prohibitively expensive due to poor economic management.

Mr Ankrah urged Ghanaians to vote for the NDC in the 2024 elections, promising that under their leadership, Ghana would rise again and overcome the current economic challenges.
