Mr. Hakeem Haruna, Vice President for Ghana Youth Climate Coalition has challenged Youth within Asokore Manpong municipality and for that matter Ghanaians to quit their over reliance on government for employment opportunities.
He premised his call on the fact that government cannot shoulder the employment needs of every citizen in the country, advising that every Ghanaian youth should seize golden opportunities  and start something of their own to support themselves.
Though majority of Ghanaians are expecting government to create enabling environment as in the creation of job opportunities, he challenged the youth to endeavor to utilize every potential they have to initiate an employment avenue for themselves “since government of Ghana cannot help everybody”.
