The next National Democratic Congress (NDC) government would create sustainable jobs to give the Ghanaian youth dignified living, former President John Dramani Mahama, the party's flagbearer for the 2024 general election has assured. Mr Mahama at the launch of the NDC's youth manifesto in Accra yesterday said job creation remains the topmost priority for the next NDC government as the unemployment situation in the country was becoming frustrating.

"This reality perpetuates inequalities and undermines social stability, as the potentials of our youth remains untapped so we'll create sustainable well-paying jobs for you," he told the gathering. On the theme "Empowering tomorrow's voices for the future" the launch of the NDC's youth manifesto coincides with the International Youth Day on the "From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development," the occasion brought together youth organisers of the party across the country. According to the former President, the theme rightly feeds into the NDC's digitalisation agenda which is vital to the implementation of the 24-hour economy policy. The previous NDC government, former President Mahama said demonstrated commitment to giving the youth digital skills by establishing the Accra Digital Centre to facilitate the provision of same.
