Former President John Dramani Mahama has assured that the next NDC government will implement meaningful and transformative policies to uplift every Ghanaian’s life.
The NDC 2024 flagbearer also pledged to introduce a scheme supporting master craftsmen and women in training apprentices, as well as providing financial support and startup equipment to artisans.
Taking to his social media handles on Thursday, June 13, 2024, Mahama shared his encounter with passionate and hardworking artisans in local communities while on a journey from Sawla to Wa – a visit which turned into an incredibly exciting experience.
During the journey, Mahama made several whistle-stops to interact with artisans in the various communities, where he witnessed their unwavering support and tireless dedication to their craft.
“Between Sawla and Wa, I made a few whistle-stops to interact with some passionate, hardworking artisans in the local communities.”
“Their unwavering support and tireless dedication to their craft are not only awe-inspiring but even more the “appropriate technology” being used to serve their clients. Another reason why my government will prioritise technical and vocational education, implement a scheme to support master craftsmen and women to train apprentices and support artisans with funds and start-up equipment.”
He also highlighted the enthusiasm and zeal for change in the country’s political leadership among the artisans.
“The enthusiasm and zeal for change in the country’s political leadership were evident. This only solidified my commitment to implementing meaningful and transformative policies that will uplift the lives of every Ghanaian.”
“Their energy and passion give me a renewed sense of purpose and drive, and I am more determined than ever to lead this country to greater heights.”
“Together, we will build the Ghana we want and move on to progress and prosperity!”
