Nana Kwame Bediako, leader of the New Force Movement, has announced a transformative 10-year plan aimed at driving economic growth in Ghana. He emphasized that mining is a crucial focus area within his “seven non-negotiable” strategies for revitalizing the nation’s currency and boosting the economy.
At the launch of his plan in the Ashanti Region, Bediako highlighted the importance of mineral exports as the foundation of Ghana’s economy. He plans to integrate mining into the educational curriculum at all levels, from basic to tertiary, to enhance the Vocational and Technical Education system. He stated that this initiative will cultivate technocrats who can leverage their knowledge to improve economic outcomes and stabilize the currency.
However, finance expert Richmond Atuahene expressed skepticism regarding Bediako’s proposals. He criticized the lack of concrete strategies to support the plan, asserting that it would not positively impact businesses. Atuahene believes that true economic growth hinges on expanding the export base and improving remittances rather than the policies proposed by Bediako.
