'Ghana’s Unemployment: Private sector should be driving job creation, not government' – Development Consultant

By John Antwi-Boasiako II Contributor

Development Consultant and successful Ghanaian entrepreneur, Billy Bonsu, has emphasised the need for the private sector to lead job creation in the country to help stimulate the economy.

He called on the government to support the private sector as the cornerstone of economic growth, highlighting the need to equip the youth with practical skills to become employers rather than merely seeking white-collar jobs.

In an interview on Otec FM's morning show Nyansapo, hosted by Kwaku Owusu Boateng on Monday, April 28, 2025, Mr. Bonsu remarked that "the public sector should be productive to create the enabling environment for the private sector to thrive."

He further explained, “The challenge of ramping up private investments in business opportunities in various sectors towards creation of jobs will need action on two fronts: refreshing institutions and policies for channeling financing; and providing a stable, durable, and empowering ecosystem for private players to partner with government entities in the task of job creation."

“Government will support private sectors to create jobs, rather than relying solely on government employment,” he added.

Billy Bonsu underscored the critical role of entrepreneurship in addressing the country’s unemployment crisis, urging confidence in the potential of entrepreneurship to drive economic expansion and reduce joblessness.
