The issue of unemployment remains one of the most pressing challenges in Ghana, with political campaigns consistently revolving around job creation as a key promise.

Head of the Political Science Department at the University of Ghana, Professor Seidu Alidu has highlighted the need for a national approach to tackling the growing unemployment crisis.

Speaking with Berla Mundi on Ghana Decides on Tv3, Professor Alidu stressed that while unemployment has been a critical issue since Ghana's independence, it has now reached alarming levels, particularly among the youth.

With over two million young people currently unemployed, the situation has become a serious concern that impacts not only the country's economy but also its security.
