Osman Ayariga commends Big Push programme for national job creation

The Chief Executive Officer of the National Youth Authority (NYA), Osman Ayariga, has commended the government’s Big Push infrastructure programme for its pivotal role in generating jobs and expanding economic opportunities for Ghanaians. Speaking at the National Tertiary Education Institutions Network (TEIN) Conference at the University of Education, Winneba, Ayariga highlighted the positive socio-economic effects of the programme across various constituencies. He described the initiative as a transformative force that is delivering tangible improvements to the lives of citizens while specifically addressing the employment needs of the youth. During his address, Ayariga emphasized that the Big Push is not merely a collection of construction projects but a strategic investment in the nation’s human capital. He noted that the impacts of the programme are visible across the country, reaching even those constituencies represented by the Minority Leader. This widespread reach, according to the NYA CEO, underscores the government's commitment to non-partisan, equitable development that benefits all Ghanaians regardless of their political background. By focusing on critical infrastructure such as roads, schools, and health facilities, the administration is creating a fertile ground for local businesses to thrive and for young professionals to find meaningful work. Ayariga concluded his remarks by framing the Big Push as a cornerstone of the National Youth Authority’s broader goals for youth empowerment and national stability. He asserted that the continuation of such high-impact infrastructure projects is essential for tackling the country's unemployment challenges and building a resilient economy. By providing the necessary physical foundation for growth, the programme is ensuring that the benefits of national development are shared broadly, fostering a sense of progress and hope for the next generation of Ghanaian leaders.
