Correspondence from Ashanti Region Emmanuel Suuk, President of the National Service Personnel Association (NASPA) for Kwabre East in the Ashanti Region, has underscored the urgent need for Ghanaian graduates to acquire practical skills to address rising unemployment.

Suuk noted a common challenge, stressing that while many citizens call for government and private sector investment in industries, graduates often lack the necessary skills to take advantage of the opportunities created. "We wish for industries and businesses to be established by the government and other authorities.

But when those industries are established, we need skilled people.

The question is, how many graduates in Ghana have the skills to qualify for those jobs?" he asked.
