A former Ambassador to Libya, George Kumi, has appealed to Ghanaians wishing to seek job opportunities in the North African country to abandon such dreams.
He said the war-ravaged country was in serious economic downturn with many migrants, including some Ghanaians,who are now seeking international assistance to return to home.
Mr Kumi, who served under the Kufuor Administration, said although Ghana’s economic situation was bad, other developed countries were going through similar economic problems and urged the unemployed youth to stay home and acquire skills.

Mr Kumi, who was also a High Commissioner to Nigeria, said Ghana could produce the needed human resource base for accelerated national development if enough resources were channel into technical and vocational institutions.
