A GROUP of youth at Sabonjida, a suburb of Tamale, has entreated the elite in northern Ghana to support the teeming unemployed youth in the metropolis to secure jobs.
According to the group, both graduates and non-graduates in the Sabonjida area for instance were jobless although they were willing to work.
A spokesperson for the group, Mr Mudasir Baba, said this when the group interacted with the General Secretary of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Mr Bernard Morna, in Tamale.
Mr Baba who is a teacher at the Ghana Senior High School (GHANASCO) in Tamale, explained that some of the youth were still waiting for results to further their education but stated that they needed adequate support to realise their full potential.
In his reponse, Mr Morna advised the youth to stay away from trouble, particularly chieftaincy disputes, and that they should rather unite to fight the common enemy which is poverty, ignorance and disease.
He, however, bemoaned the situation whereby successive governments had not been able to create jobs for the teeming unemployed youth in the north.
Mr Morna advised the youth not to allow themselves to be used for the parochial interests of some politicians.
He stated that the educational system in the country was not the best as it only trained the youth for white collar jobs.
He appealed to the youth to offer concrete suggestions to the government to address the urgent needs of the populace, such as the establishment of factories to employ the youth.
Earlier, the PNC General Secretary had called on the Dakpema where he donated GH¢200 towards the Dakpema Education Fund.
Mr Morna commended the chief for establishing the fund, saying it would ultimately help to educate brilliant, needy children who would become useful citizens of the society.
The Dakpema for his part, cautioned the youth against receiving any form of inducements to foment trouble in the metropolis.
