  PLEASE, QUALITY SKILLED WORKFORCE ARE NEEDED AT EVERY SECTOR OF THE ECONOMY BEFORE ANY COUNTRY CAN CARRY ON AN EFFECTIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE COUNTRY.
  
  HAVE YOU NOT LEARNED FROM THE EXAMPLES OF THE DEVELOPED WORLD.
  
  IT IS BECAUSE OF LACK OF HIGHLY SKILLED WORKFORCE THAT WE CPONINUE CONTINUE TO BE BACKWARD AND UNDERDEVELOPED IN THE COUNTERY.
  
  WE DO STILL HAVE MANY HUGE MOUNTAINS TO CLIMB.

  Why can't Ms. Bannerman train 400 people? That makes no sense to be. All of the educated and bright Ghanaians in Ghana. Or perhaps she does not want to pay them well?

  SINCE THERE IS NO TRAINING AND GENERAL EDUCATION PROGRAM IN THE COUNTRY, GHANA WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE THIS GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY OF AGOA.
  ITS A PITY THAT THE COUNTRY DON'T HAVE ANY PROGRAMME THAT TRAINS YOUNG PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DO ANY BUSINESS. ALL WHAT THEY KNOW IS HAVE SOME SMALL MONEY TO START BUSINESS (BUYING AND SELLING) IF THEY SUCCEED FINE, IF NOT, BYE. THIS IS NKRUMAH'S GHANA WHERE MOST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE STUDIES ON WHAT THEY ARE DOING. EVEN THE "AGOA" IS NOT TAUGHT TO MOST PEOPLE. MANY GHANAIANS DON'T KNOW WHAT IS AGOA, LET ALONE USE IT. SO WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO. IF THE GOVERNMENT CAN TRAIN PEOPLE AND EDUCATE THEM ON TRADING AND OTHER NECESSARY TECHNICS IN BUSINESS, THE COUNTRY WILL BE LIKE WHAT DR. NKRUMAH DREAMT OF.

  Africa is a continent embedding with any natural,agricultural,hydrocarbon and multiple mineral wealth ... beside that the continent abound with cheap labour and of late cropping skill to harness for the betterment of Africans.
  sadly we are cursed by the wealth around an beneath our foot ....we produce our own and yet aligned to foreign / imported items......we cannot even build and manage refinery for oil .. than export crude oil and use scare foreign cash to import oil, petrol , gas oil..... hence the rise of transport fares yesterday ... Africans are noted with chinese import yeah the taste for imported consumer items by Ghanians signify gloomy future..Ms Bannerman ..is right..
