Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), claims that the Akufo-Addo administration has created more jobs than any other government.
The Vice President emphasized that, despite the global economic crisis, the government created 2.1 million jobs from 2017 to 2022.
Addressing the nation at the UPSA auditorium in Accra, the NPP’s flagbearer stated that they have recruited 100,000 more health workers, 100,000 teachers, and doubled the number of fire service personnel.
Despite the global economic crisis, our government created 2.1 million jobs between 2017 and 2022, which is arguably the most impressive development in terms of the economy. SSNIT data shows that 1.2 million jobs were created by the public sector, and 975,000 by the private sector. We increased the number of teachers by 100,000, health workers by 100,000, fire service personnel by more than double, etc. Without a doubt, over the course of seven years, our government has produced more jobs than any other. Even though we still need to add jobs, this is really amazing in the given situation,” he said.
He claimed that despite the economic downturn, the government has managed to keep the country’s ship afloat and prevent any major disasters.
It is evident that this administration has managed to keep the country’s ship afloat despite the economic downturn. The economy’s overall performance in terms of GDP growth, trade balance, industrial growth, growth in agriculture, growth in gross international reserves, and employment creation showed resilience in the face of the crisis. The information that is currently available also demonstrates that despite the difficult economy we inherited and the ensuing global economic crisis, the government has accomplished a great deal across the nation. because of time restraints.
“We will soon “outdoor our Performance Tracker, which details all of our achievements in every sector and every district in Ghana,” declared the NPP flagbearer.
