Speaking to members of the NDC Professionals Forum at the University of Cape Coast on Monday, August 5, 2024, as part of her three-day campaign tour of the Central Region, she remarked that Ghana is financially strained and requires urgent solutions.<\/p>\n

\n

She pointed out that the country is in a dire financial situation, with the currency in a precarious state, adversely affecting citizens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang stated that the nation is unable to service its debts and is facing a crisis worse than anticipated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She emphasised that, given the high unemployment rate, the NDC\u2019s 24-hour economy policy and the National Apprenticeship Programme are immediate solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
