Solution to unemployment amongs Youths Revealed

Member of the House of Representatives, Ghana, Honourable
Mohammed Salisu Bamba in Lagos, stated that the singular
solution to the plaque of joblessness ravaging youths in Africa
subregion is entrepreneurship.
Bamba who spoke during the official launch of Lagos chapter of
Sterling Business Network in Lagos where over 200 people were
in attendance lamented rate of unemployment among youths.
”The biggest challenge we are facing in the sub region is
basically unemployment. Everybody is looking up to the
politician for a solution and as young politician, I know we
cannot.”
Canvassing for self reliance among youth, he urged
stakeholders in education sector to discourage the notion in
students that the sole purpose of education is to be employed by
someone.
Vowing to take SBN to Ghana before the last quarter of the year,
he said: “It is disheartening to note that if you come to Ghana,
you will see associations like; Unemployed Graduates
Association, Masters Holders Association and Masters Holders
and Job Seekers Associations.”
He words: “Youth empowerment and how to network was why I
left my legislative work and came to Nigeria because I am
passionate about youth empowerment. Life is all about
determination, once you have determined to do a thing,
definitely, you can achieve it.
“Few weeks ago, we passed a law in Ghana on how to empower
the youths, specifically in area of finance. But as as a young
politician, I know we cannot do much. It is important we start
thinking of how to network or an organization that can assist in
that direction, instead of waiting for the government or the state
to do something about the youth.
“When I heard about SBN, I said it is a good thing, because it is
a means to empower the youths and also network with
professionals. The biggest challenge we are faced world over is
to find a network. Looking at the calibre of people sitting in this
meeting today, we have lawyers, economists, doctors, media
men. Miners and all kinds of professionals.
“By the time we leave this place, I have the strong belief that
whenever I am coming to Nigeria to do business, I won’t find it
difficult, or whenever any of you is coming to Ghana to do any
business such will not have any problem. That is the beauty of
SBN.”
