The 2020 running mate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has expressed concern over the mass exodus of Ghana’s youth in search of better opportunities abroad.
She highlights that a significant portion of Ghana’s workforce comprises individuals leaving the country.
Addressing the youth during the launch of the “Voice Out, Vote Out” initiative in Accra, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang stated that the NDC’s proposed 24-hour economy policy aims to tackle the mass exodus of graduates and skilled citizens by generating more employment opportunities.
