The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer for the 2016 elections, President John Mahama, has said there will be 400,000 available jobs from 2017 under the National Youth Employment Programme (NYEP).
During his campaign tour of the Central Region, President Mahama assured residents of Senya Bereku that given a second term, his government would expand job opportunities to absorb the teeming unemployed youth in the country.

President Mahama’s time on the campaign trail has seen its fair share of promises including a pledge to give each household in the Abura community one electricity meter and the possibility of free tertiary education.
His address to the people of Senya Bereku saw him promise to construct fishing landing sites and the completion of the Swedru-Bawjiase road.
“We have also made plans to construct landing sites for the fishermen and Senya Bereku. That is a promise to the people and I know God has already done it. In my next term, I will complete it. We have already begun building a market and for those who ply the Bawjiase road, I want you t know that we have assigned a contractor to complete the Swedru-Bawjiase e road,” President Mahama said.
