It is senseless to encourage pennyless graduates to be entrepreneurs – Lydia Forson

Ghanaian Actress Lydia Forson says it will make a lot of sense if the government’s promotion of entrepreneurship among young graduates is backed with funds. However , if it’s not backed by funds provided to young graduates to venture into entrepreneurship, then it won’t seem sensible for the government to encourage the youth who graduate from school without money into entrepreneurship. “If you will have a fund available for people who have great ideas to encourage their entrepreneurial journey, then I’m here for it. But to inform fresh graduates who mostly don’t have the money to set up a company to do so doesn’t make any sense to me. ”It is likely to be recalled that the Finance Minister while speaking to the 2021 Graduating class of the University for Professional Studies (UPSA) encouraged the graduands to venture in to entrepreneurship. He was emphatic that the country’s payroll is full adding that 60% of revenue generated by the country is used to pay for salaries to workers; something he says is not sustainable.
