Prof Adei has a morbid hatred for Ghanaian workers – TUC

Dr Kwabena Nyarko Otoo, the Director of Labour, Research and Policy Institute at the Trades Union Congress, has refuted claims by Economist, Professor Stephen Adei that Ghanaian workers are less productive compared to their Togolese counterparts.

Prof Adei had asserted that Ghanaian workers are among the least productive globally and that Togolese workers outperform Ghanaians in terms of productivity.

Otoo defended Ghanaian workers, asserting that they are hardworking despite the challenges they encounter.

Adei said Ghanaian workers are lazy, and less productive, if he happens to have a medical condition that requires medical surgery will he go to Togo or Korle Bu.

Since the Togolese workers including the medical doctors are more productive than the Ghanaian ones.

He acknowledged that there are some challenges with the attitudes of some Ghanaian workers towards work but insisted that Prof Adei could have communicated his comments more constructively.

“When you google Prof Adei, you will not find a single research document he has put there, it’s all about condemnations and castigations of Ghanaian workers
