Mr. Vincent A. Ankama-Lomotey, Registrar of the College, said entrepreneurial skills training had the tendency to give graduates and undergraduate students the motivation to create jobs for themselves. This, he said, was critical to addressing youth unemployment in the country, saying higher education was meant to find solutions to development challenges in the society. The ‘Science Café’, an initiative of the College Registrar, was introduced last year to serve as a platform for the university community to brainstorm on national development issues. “Addressing Youth Unemployment in Ghana - the Way Forward”, was the theme for this year’s event. The country had over the years been struggling with youth unemployment and had over the years been a major talking point as successive governments try to find an antidote to the problem with various initiatives, policies and programmes.
