The job opportunities in the agriculture sector, according to Dr. Afriyie Akoto, are enormous, and they include industrialization, agro processing, advertising among others, insisting that when proper investment is made, it will change the fortunes of Ghana.
“My vision is really targeted at the youth. To have an impact on the youth is to create job opportunities for them. They youth really need jobs and the agriculture sector holds the key”, he noted.
Dr. Afriyie Akoto made this observation on Monday, May 7, 2023, when he mounted the podium of a Town Hall Meeting organized by NPP, Canada branch, via zoom and interacted with the party faithful on his vision when giving the nod to bear the flag of the UP Tradition and Ghana as a whole.
He was responding to a question posed by one Felix Brown on what could be the fate of the NPP youth under his leadership.
Commenting further on the issue, the former Minister of Food and Agriculture said the approach to addressing the myriads of unemployment issues confronting the youth has to do with pragmatic policies, assuring that under his leadership, he will put in place policies that are geared towards prioritizing investment into the agriculture sector.
