I will create sustainable jobs through textiles and garment industry - Sly

A flagbearer aspirant of the National Democratic Congress and former CEO of NHIA has revealed that the textiles and garment industry can create millions of jobs for the youth of Ghana if government adequately invests in that sector through a public private partnership using a venture capital model.

Mr. Mensah said this when he was interacting with branch and constituency executives in the Eastern Region, on Wednesday, December 19, 2018.

“When it comes to creating jobs for Ghanaians, there are several Innovative ways that can be done. There is a huge potential for jobs within the textiles and garment industry. China has taken advantage of that and I believe we can also do so. Because of the AGOA, Ghana has a competitive advantage over China in the production and exportation of textiles and garments. This industry can create about a million jobs in each of the ten Regions of this country. If you give me the mandate, I know how to make it happen.”

Mr. Mensah has observed that Akufo-Addo and the NPP are struggling to create the jobs they have promised because they do not have achievable ideas to implement. He appealed to delegates to put faith in him, give him the mandate so that he can implement the innovative ideas of creating jobs in order to bring down unemployment drastically and save this country from the national security threat it portends.
