High unemployment in the country remains one of the major challenges of government.

As some youth have ventured into entrepreneurship, a way to alleviate poverty, others are still in search of jobs from both the public and private sectors.

The people of Banda in the Bono region can heave a sigh of relief as the establishment of the Bui Cashew Limited is set to employ 250 people.

This was made known by the Deputy Director of Lands and Impact at Bui Power Authority, Eric Opoku Acheampong, on BizTech on GhanaWeb TV.

Eric Opoku Acheampong stated that providing jobs for the teeming unemployed youth in Bui was in line with BPA’s vision.
