Mr. Ernest Akubuor Debrah, Brong Ahafo Regional Minister said the government cannot employ all unemployed persons immediately because it was in the process of reconstructing the national economy.

Speaking to 60 Ghanaians repatriated from Niger while on their way to Libya, the Minister mentioned that the government was initiating measures and establishing structures to revamp the economy.

He said tree planting and afforestation, cassava and industrial starch projects were some of the pragmatic programmes that government has initiated to create job avenues for the people.

"Though the government is making such efforts, please do not be deceived to believe that there would be instant employment, since job creation is a gradual process," Mr. Debrah cautioned Ghanaians.

He advised those repatriated to take on-going registration exercise of all unemployed in the district capitals seriously and said they should endeavour to contribute to national reconstruction.

Mr. Debrah called on Ghanaians to unite and work hard in order to revamp the economy.
