Quotes I know what I was talking about and when I realized that people were misunderstanding and misusing it, I started looking for the full tape to play so people could see what I was talking about. So, it is simply not the case that I told graduates to do so. I was just quoting somebody and trying to encourage my Ghanaian fellows that if you are, for example, a nurse and you have a skill, you are better off. If you go into a community and there are no nurses, you can start something on your own. If you go into a community and the people consume a particular product, you can go and get those products and send them there; that is a bigger form of it. It was a basic example I was citing. It is to give perspective to the Ghanaian workforce so we can find within ourselves the capacity and the means to earn a living. Rashid Pelpuo never said Ghanaian graduates should cut grass and sell Within one year of his administration, we were the number 10 richest country in Africa with a GDP that places us at number 10. Today, after one year of administration, good governance, committed leadership, we shot up to number eight with a GDP that is above 100 billion (USD). In measuring our achievements, we can say that we do not have extreme labour upheavals and conflicts that disrupt work. Sometimes you get workers dissatisfied with a few things, but the purpose of my ministry is to anticipate those tempests and calm them down. When you look at the past year, there has been a relatively quiet labour front. People are going about their business and putting their energy into ensuring that they push Ghana forward. You can see the results in everything we are doing. It is about coordination from my end on all issues that are likely to create labour disturbances. It is also the cooperation with labour leaders, whom I work with and speak to in order to understand the issues at stake. How do we get the Finance Ministry to respond to challenges where labour is seeking benefits or legally acceptable responses from government in their financial requirements? That cooperation has been key. in an interview on Joy News on Monday, January 12, 2026.
