Next NDC government will create a 24-hour economy with incentives and tax breaks – Mahama
Former President John Mahama, the flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming 2024 election, has assured Ghanaians of quality governance when the NDC takes over the management of the country.
He emphasized that his government will work diligently to ease the burden of taxes imposed on Ghanaian businesses by the current governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Mr. Mahama expressed concern about the high rate of youth unemployment in the country. He highlighted the significance of the
youth as the driving force of positive change and key agents of development throughout Ghana’s history.
His message was delivered on International Youth Day, observed on Saturday, August 12.
The former president’s statement indicates the NDC’s commitment to addressing economic challenges and unemployment issues in Ghana.
The promise to create a more favorable investment climate and alleviate the tax burden on businesses suggests the party’s focus on fostering economic growth and job opportunities for the youth.
Former President John Mahama emphasized the importance of empowering the youth with skills, creating jobs, and supporting them to transform not only Ghana but
also Africa as a whole. He acknowledged the challenges faced by the youth, including rising unemployment, increased cost of living, and limited opportunities, which have led many to feel hopeless.
Mr. Mahama, representing the National Democratic Congress (NDC), expressed a strong commitment to reversing this situation and nurturing a generation of skilled youth. He outlined several policy priorities to achieve this goal. His proposed measures include equipping the youth with entrepreneurial knowledge and skills, introducing a 24-hour economy with incentives for manufacturers to create more employment opportunities, boosting the potential of agriculture and agribusiness, and providing critical social and IT infrastructure to stimulate economic growth.
The former president highlighted the importance of green skills, which are essential for a sustainable and resource-efficient society. He emphasized that by working together, Ghana can build a brighter future and restore hope to the faces of its young people.
This statement from Mr. Mahama provides insight into the NDC’s vision for addressing youth unemployment, fostering economic growth, and creating a sustainable future for Ghana.
