Unemployed youth on Tuesday, September 4, besieged the streets of Accra to protest continued joblessness as they demand immediate intervention from government
The demonstration is part of moves by the Economic Fighters League to pressurize the Akufo-Addo led government to fulfill its promise of creating jobs to reduce the high unemployment rate in the country.
Some of the jobless youth who spoke to Starr News said they have really been struggling to make ends meet since they completed Tertiary Education.
“I have been home since 2014 and I have done everything possible to get a job because I have not been successful,” one of the jobless youth said.
Another jobless graduate said “Okudzeto Ablakwa said they had created over 10 million jobs but where are the jobs…we want the government to come to our aid because we are suffering.”
The unemployed youth are appealing to government to embark on a massive job creation exercise by creating the enabling business environment to give business opportunities to the many unemployed youth.

Ndc brought dumsor to destroy Ghanaian business and these so called unemployed ndc youth must wait for 50 years when ndc ,I don't even know if ndc will be Alive then to come and create jobs for them. When did they found they were unemployed just 1 year 8 months then they should wait for another 1 year 8 months when the mess created by their government and party is cleaned. Lazy ndc youth why didn't you ask your government to give you loans to start your own businesses instead of shouting JM TOASO and Onaapo! why didn't you ask them to give you jobs when you went to your headquarters to collect peanuts,you thought Ghana belonged to the ndc so that awuuf money would forever be coming, you are crying! ask your ndc president who is beginning his Dr Limann's journey how he would create jobs for you? Nana Addo is serious with Ghanaian youth who are serious to get employed but not ndc f00000**00ls being deceived by their do nothing incompetent conmen leaders to demonstrate,how is that going to create jobs? ndc are desperate and confused. Government doesn't give jobs in abroad but the individuals take advantage of the policies to create jobs, Mark Zuckerberg took advantage of the social media and created Facebook when he was a student in the university! Black African is looking for jobs from the government,like the government is father Christmas. Laziness create unemployment which is ndc, serious Ghanaian youth have taking advantage of the planting for food, Agric. Extention officers, NABCO and ndc youth think we need to go round chasing them to give them jobs. You will rot in your unemployment if you sit on your a$$es. A lot of the youth are working and who cares about ndc youth not working? how many jobs did their government create, they should go to the jobs ndc created and get employed. Nkw*seasem kwa! Papa Kuffuor left a Ghana with employment, hence ndc women organizers became controllers of the school feeding program, Gyeeda was taking over by the ndc, NHIS was taking over by Ameto Quarme and Sylvester Mensah and what did ndc leave? Go and such for what ndc left and get employed.
The govt has poisoned the business environment with very complicated legislation and high electricity and water charges, levies and taxes, fees by charged by monitoring agencies, customs duties, tariffs at the ports, district assemblies and bribes and kickbacks demanded from Ghanaian businesses by so called civil servants and government workers who are paid to help these businesses in the first place. The govt has killed its own one district one factory policy before it gave birth to it. If you doubt this try setting up a business ...a manufacturing business in Ghana today! It is strange that a govt which boasts of being business friendly will enact such wicked taxes and levies and thereby kill private sector businesses.
