Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia has promised that his government will establish an open university to reduce unemployment.
On the second day of his campaign tour to the Greater Accra Region, Dr. Bawumia met with the clergy in Tema, where he shared his vision with heads of churches within and around the area.
In his address, Dr. Bawumia stated that a committee has been set up, even before the elections, to assess the establishment of an open university that will train over 1 million Ghanaian youth.
According to him, it will be open to all, including those without certificates, who will be trained in TVET and ICT so they can work in the digital sphere both at home and abroad.
Dr. Bawumia also expressed concern over the cycle of successive governments abandoning projects they inherited.
He, therefore, promised to bring all political parties together to agree on a national development plan that will ensure the continuation of state projects.
