Ghana’s President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been commended for his initiatives to create jobs in the country by the African Union(AU).

The immediate past Chairman of the African Union and President of Guinea, Alpha Condé, while delivering a speech at the 30th African Union summit in Ethiopia also lauded President Akufo-Addo for his enthusiasm at ending youth unemployment and rolling out the Free Senior High School program.

Mr. Conte who was speaking on  the theme; “Winning The Fight Against Corruption: A Sustainable Path To Africa’s Transformation,” President Condé said youth unemployment and the lack of a clear plan on educating the youth of Africa is the greatest contribution to corruption on the continent.

He singled out Ghana in his speech citing initiatives such as the free SHS, Planting for food and jobs, One District, One factory as few of the programmes introduced by the Ghanaian government which are worth emulating.

He urged his colleagues to follow after the example set by Ghana as those initiatives can help greatly the fight against corruption and unemployment.
