Jobs, not guns, are the most durable answer to insecurity in Northern Ghana — Northshore CEO

Speaking at the official commissioning of the Northshore Apparel Industrial Park in Savelugu in the Northern Region on Friday, August 28, Mr Mohammed said dignified work could prevent young people from being recruited by individuals seeking to foment conflict.

He said the establishment of the factory in Savelugu was intended to bring employment closer to young people in Northern Ghana, many of whom previously had to migrate to major cities in search of work.

The Chief Executive Officer of Northshore Apparel Ghana Limited, Nurideen Mohammed, says sustainable employment, rather than an exclusive focus on armed security responses, offers the most enduring solution to insecurity in Northern Ghana.
