A cross-section of people in the Ashanti Region have lauded the Akufo-Addo-led government in what they described as a forward-looking budget for 2018.
Radio airwaves in the regional capital were filled with loads of commendation last Thursday [Nov., 14, 2017] morning for the president and his team, following the reading of the 2018 budget statement on the floor of Parliament on Wednesday, November 13, 2017.
One of such people who lauded the government was Mr Francis Adomako, who noted that not only was the budget aiming at growth in the various sectors of the economy, but also hinged on job creation.
According to him, the job creation aspect of the budget was commendable since many of the youth in this country were still wallowing on the streets without jobs.
Mr Adomako, who is an aspiring regional Organiser for the New Patriotic Party in the Ashanti Region, stressed the importance of engaging the youth in a gainful venture since failure to do so can spell doom for the government and the country as a whole.
