Flag-bearer of Ghana’s largest opposition political party, NDC, John Dramani Mahama has promised to make the solar energy sector buoyant as part of his efforts to grow the energy sector if he wins this year’s elections to be president again.
The former Ghana’s leader said he is committed to delivering a Golden Age of renewables in Ghana
“We’re committed to delivering a Golden Age of renewables,” he said in a tweet on September 25, 2020.
Jobs & Prosperity for all.
We’re committed to delivering a Golden Age of renewables. This we’ll do by providing incentives for investment in the manufacture of solar panels and accessories in Ghana. We’ll also encourage the use of Roof-Top solar by artisans and small businesses. pic.twitter.com/JcMT0phsvX— John Dramani Mahama (@JDMahama) September 25, 2020
He added: “This, we’ll do by providing incentives for investment in the manufacture of solar panels and accessories in Ghana. We’ll also encourage the use of roof-top solar by artisans and small businesses.”
He also noted that the youth of Ghana deserve decent and sustainable jobs.
To that end, he said he is determined to create over one million jobs, both in the public and private sectors of the local economy.
He has asked Ghanaians to believe and have faith in him that he will deliver this promise should he win this year’s elections.
Mr Mahama said: “You’re all that matter to me!
“You deserve decent job opportunities! This is why the next NDC government will provide opportunities for the creation of a minimum one million new and sustainable jobs in the public & private sectors. I guarantee you this will be done!”
Ghanaians will go to the polls on December 7, 2020, to elect a new President and Members of Parliament to steer the affairs of the country from 2021-2024.
