Dr Hilla Limann VC charges artisans to bridge unemployment gap as GNAG pushes for tax waivers

The historic graduation ceremony marked a major milestone for technical education in the Upper West Region, certifying dozens of young men and women who had transitioned from informal apprenticeships into structured, competency-based programmes.

Speaking on the sidelines of the event, the Upper West Regional Secretary of the Ghana National Association of Garages (GNAG), Mr Jinsung Rashid, made a passionate appeal to the government to grant import tax exemptions on specialised diagnostic equipment.

The event brought together master craftsmen, young artisans, parents, and academic heads, celebrating a unified effort between formal institutions and trade associations to build a skilled, self-reliant workforce across the Upper West Region.
