Haruna

The Minister of Communication, Haruna Iddrisu, has assured Ghanaians of the government's commitment to accelerate the tempo of job creation and offer employment to the unemployed, especially the youth.
He said the government was determined to make Ghana an attractive Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) destination which would create between 10,000 and 20,000 jobs.
The minister made the assurance when he visited the Vodafone Call Centre in Accra.
He said that was part of the government's determination to offer employment opportunities to young people, particularly those with senior high school background and basic computer training to be able to earn a living.
He said the main objective of the visit was to interact with the management of Vodafone to know the challenges confronting the company, and what the government could do to support it.
Haruna Iddrisu said Ghana could earn as much as $1 billion if it encouraged businesses in the country.
He expressed his satisfaction with the number of young people who had been employed by the company and encouraged them to employ more of such people.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Vodafone, Mr David Venn, said the company aimed at ensuring high quality standards and added that the company was committed to helping all communities to communicate easily and efficiently.
