You should have been brainstorming for solutions.

Generate ideas: how do we create jobs for the unemployed graduates? What steps should the government take? What course of action should the unemployed graduates adopt to help the situation?

Just telling the patient, "if you don't get treated the infection would affect your whole body" does not heal anything. The TREATMENT itself is what matters.

But remember too that those "idle hands" are also aware of what is going on and see what is going on out there and can advice themselves too.
Let's put our heads together and find a solution to it

Why do we produce too many graduates if we currently do not need that much? Why can't the government channel the scare resources for training these excess graduates into expanding job opportunities for now?

All universities are now subsidised by government, that is to say indirectly that, even the private universities who are not taxed use the non-taxable incomes that otherwise must have been collected by government to subsidise their operations. If about 200,000 graduates come out yearly and the government averagely spend $10,000 on each person, we could be talking about $2billion in wrong investment for now, especially in courses where there would be no jobs for decades. Now, why can't we reduce this by half and save $1billion? If $500 million out of the $1billion is invested in eg Dr Christo Osafo's project funding advance technology to produce say fridges and TVs, supplying just the local market would generate billions of dollars in investment returns within short period, create jobs, increase GDP, increase Ghana's industrial base, taxes, store food going waste, etc.

What about investing in projects like innovation centres to nurture ideas for self-employment for the graduates? Here, unemployed graduates could form creative, innovative, etc groups/cooperatives in their related study fields, then train in entrepreneurship and fund by government to embark on wealth creation.

Our country filled with foreign goods is indication that we export problems for solution and therefore since we cannot solve our problems we would remain poor. As a result, we need to review our education to assist in solving local problems and get rich. Our content of education makes us unproductive and become too dependent on others for help.

The government cannot absorb the entire educated youth workforce; not even in the United States, the richest country in the world. What the government must do is to incentivize the private sector with the necessary ingredients to expand and hire more workers. Also, the Ghanaian education must be tailored along skilled labor, towards production rather than distribution and consumption.

Foolish expert! Saying our graduates become vulnerable to radicalization is very irresponsible. It's as if you're feeding such an idea into their minds.

so all the past coup plotters were radicalized? what definition does Dr. give to "radicalization" to have him make such a sweeping generalization? What solution has he been able to come up with to share with the public?

A certain man formed the Workers and Builders Brigade and lured the youth to participate in farming and building of bridges to feed the people and the factories. This brilliant person full of vision for this country did also establish a lot of manufacturing entities and industries to take care of the people. But the wolves came, killed him, sold the properties he bequeathed to us and shared the proceeds. Today, the same people who killed him are the ones asking why the nation is in turmoil. Long live Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.

Well, in Ghana and other third world countries, experts spring up like mushrooms.Why do they always raise problems without solutions? Or discover cures for which there are no diseases? This expert can have his peace.

GOVT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS ADMONITION B'COS IT HAS THE POTENTIAL OF BECOMING A PROGNOSTICATION OF EVIL THAT CAN AFFLICT THE GHANAIAN SOCIETY. THERE ARE SIMILAR PRECEDENTS ELSEWHERE THAT EVENTUALLY EXPLODED IN THEIR FACE.

But Llyod Amoah what is the international scene for graduates? Is Ghanaian graduates the only facing the unemployment problems? The answer is a big NO. Graduates in China, Australia, UK, USA, Malaysia, India, Brazil, Cuba, South Africa, France, Germany etc are all experiencing same world wide problems. I think our young graduates should learn to be innovative by bring their acquired knowledge and experiences into generating practical outcomes for their individual selves or severally/jointly instead of always thinking of being employed by a big company or the government. This a way forward.

This Dr. should provide evidence of research that graduates unemployed do involve in radicalism. It is rather uneducated youth who do not have skills that may involve in radicalism. Even not in our environment here.

The first thing a modern educated elite should exhibit is knowledge of the fact that there is growth and development catching up with the existing structures and a change in doing things is necessary. Government cannot continue to be the chief employer.People like you who are successful should mentor the youth to accelerate the growth of the private sector so that employment will not be a problem.Think and suggest as a civilized person.
