He said the NDC flagbearer should make it a point to create enough employment opportunities for young Ghanaians to be gainfully employed during his tenure.
The Chief further stressed that job opportunities should not be reserved for certificate bearers only.
He noted that just as the flagbearer was in his traditional area pleading for votes from all and sundry, there should not be any qualification barriers to the jobs the NDC flagbearer would create if he wins the election.
“No one is asking for a certificate to vote for you to become president, so when the time comes to provide employment for them, and they are asked to bring their certificates, it will be a burden on us," he said.
Mahama outlines 24-hour economy packages
