The Novotel Market Traders Association in Accra has commended President John Dramani Mahama for nominating Nii Armah Ashittey, the Osu Korley Klottey Member of Parliament, to be approved by Appointments Committee of Parliament as Minister for Employment and Labour Relations.
A statement issued and signed by Samuel N.A. Turkson, Secretary of the Association, said members of the Association were grateful to the President for Nii Ashittey's nomination and appealed to Nii Ashittey to use his vast experience to help address the unemployment challenges in Ghana.
The Association noted that even though the problems of unemployment were huge and could not be solved within the shortest possible time, Nii Armah Ashittey should bring on board new programmes and other innovations to create employment avenues for the youth.
