Top Story: Minority Blames Gov’t for Ghana’s ‘Jobless Growth’ After NDPC Report

Top Story with Kenneth Gyasi on Joy 99.7 FM examines the growing political battle over jobs and Ghana's economic performance.

A new National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) report has reignited the debate over Ghana's economy after revealing that the country recorded 6% economic growth between 2022 and 2025, but failed to generate enough jobs for Ghanaians.

The Minority in Parliament is blaming government for what it describes as “jobless growth,” accusing the administration of abandoning projects and policies introduced by the previous government that they say were creating employment opportunities.
