Former President John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), on Sunday announced a $10- billion accelerated infrastructural plan to drive jobs and entrepreneurial agenda when elected in December elections.
Dubbed the “BIG PUSH,” the fund would be injected into infrastructural development, and according to the NDC Election 2020 Flagbearer, “it will involve the construction industry, engineering and other professionals, and will bring a lot of artisans and everybody back into work.”
“We are looking at what I call the BIG PUSH, injecting some $10 billion to revamp the roads sector, complete the remainder of the 200 Community Day Senior High Schools, finish all the hospital projects that have been left abandoned, and construct bridges to open up the country”, former President Mahama said.
A statement issued by the NDC Campaign Team, signed by Mr James Agyenim-Boateng, which was copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra, said the major plank of the second coming of Mr John Dramani Mahama as President “is to deliver jobs to our young people”.
The NDC Flagbearer, who had been visiting and meeting traditional rulers and various interest groups in Savannah, Northern, Oti, and Volta Regions, also announced that delivering jobs to the young people would be a major floorboard of his next government.
“If we do not do this urgently, we have a ticking time bomb on our hands. Everything and every policy will be focused on creating jobs for young people,” Mr Mahama stated.
The NDC Flagbearer said his ‘Agenda One Million Jobs’ would also see the creation of between 300,000 and 400,000 jobs a year, in both the private and public sectors.
“It is a very well-thought-out plan and will be the central promise of our manifesto,” he added.

Another Hope City fiasco??? Mahama is a Scammer In Chief (SIC). Ghanaians know you oooo tom!!!
Please we do not forget things so easily as you think. What happened to the $10 billion city in Dodowa area that you cut sod to begin in 2013 almost 4 years before leaving the presidency. Talk is cheap,you have nothing to offer us. The main reason you are forcing to come to power again is the bauxite which values $650 Billion taken from your family. We are not ***barred word*** people in the country, you will never get power again.
You see you can now make big promises because you have seen how vibrant the economy is now due to the marvelous work of Akuffo Addo's administration. During the 2016 campaign you couldn't make any such big promises because by then YOU HAVE CHOPPED ALL THE MEAT LEAVING ONLY BONUS. Now there is money in the coffers so why not. A man without Shame.
