ARTISANS ASSOCIATION OF GHANA CALL ON H.E NANA AKUFFO ADDO FOR BUDGET ALLOCATION FOR TRAINING

ARTISANS ASSOCIATION OF GHANA CALL ON H.E NANA AKUFFO ADDO FOR BUDGET ALLOCATION FOR TRAINING
———————————————-
The Artisans Association of Ghana (AAG) is calling on His Excellency Nana Akuffo Addo and his government to place them on the National budget  purposely for  training of Artisans.
As an  organization/Institution we are looking forward to the government to (apportion) a special  budget for Artisans in the country as  has been done for teachers and nursing trainees in Ghana.
Artisans in this country play very key roles in the development of our nation and form part of the pillars of the country when it comes to matters of nation building, hence if the pillars becomes weak and porous, the country is likely to collapse which is what we are experiencing currently.A number of literature has indicated that Ghana needs more refined Artisans hence the need to train persons to be skillful in their activities.
 (AAG) has over 33,000 members nation wide with 23 categories of programs namely, masonry, carpentry , steel bending, fashion designing, plumbing , painting,   etc and we are expecting the government to allocate a budget for artisan training in other to reduce unemployment canker  in the country.
There has been a number of attempts by past governments to help the youth but no direct benefit has been attained by organised Artisans as in the case of teachers and nurses that are being trained.
Artisans Association of Ghana is appealing to  H. E Nana Akuffo Addo and the current government to intervene in allocating a budget for artisan training in other for us to have a very good Artisans in our country to prevent relying expatriates.
Signed…………………………… ……
Gideon Bidor
(PRESIDENT: Artisans Association of Ghana.)
