At the event in Accra on July 1, the Managing Director of Adom Group of Companies, Rev. Joseph Opoku Adjei, who was the Guest of Honour asserted the need to do more for the youth in the country.
According to him, Spotlight Awards Africa has thrown more light on business start-ups to award them for creating job opportunities for the youth in the country.
“These SMEs will need support to grow and expand their businesses to recruit more unemployed youth to earn a living,” he affirmed.
He said there was the need to develop an educational system that would build creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving ability.
