President John Mahama has said that his government enabling Ghanaians acquire skills that guarantee their employment to create wealth.<\/p>\n
According to him, government cannot \u201cput money in their pocket\u201d but can only create the atmosphere for them to make money.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”aGD1omotWO9quiBFa4awHm2ElF6GHx2M”]Speaking at a political rally in the Hohoe constituency as part of his Volta Regional tour on Wednesday, President Mahama said, citizens must work for their money rather than expect government to do that for them.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo president is going to come to Ghana one day and line all our people up and say everybody come and get it, here is free money. It will never happen. The only way you can put money in your pocket<\/a><\/strong><\/span> is to work for it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cEven the Bible says so…God told us, go into the world and work with your hands, go and labour and feed yourself that is what He said. And so the only way money can go into Citizen\u2019s pocket is when they work for it and so government\u2019s responsibility to make sure that we give our citizens the skills to work and to make money for themselves,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n According to President Mahama, the focus of his government if given a second term to serve will be to skill acquisition and ensuring that the populace possess the needed skills to gain employment and create wealth for themselves<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
