The Methodist Church Ghana (MCGKumasi )'s Diocesan Bishop, the Right Reverend Stephen Kwaku Owusu has called for brainstorming to find a long-term solution to the high rate of young unemployment.
"There are those who left the university more than six years ago and are still unemployed," he added, adding that the matter posed a threat to the nation's security.
The Rt. Rev. Owusu emphasized that a lively young is essential to any society's development and growth and that concerns connected to their empowerment and welfare should be handled seriously.
He was addressing during a synod in Kumasi organized by the MCG's Kumasi Diocese to examine national concerns as well as those related to the church's rapid development.
They included topics such as education, economic growth, national security, employment, youth development, and church programs.
According to the Methodist Bishop, the church is concerned about documented incidences of adolescent suicide and criminality.
"This threat is primarily the result of dissatisfaction," he said, underlining that society as a whole should work together to confront these regrettable trends.
The Methodist Bishop urged business organizations and stakeholders to help the government in its efforts to broaden the foundation of technical and vocational education and training to promote a stable society free of aberrant behavior (TVET).
Given the crucial role TVET played in educating the kids with the necessary skills for a productive life, he said this was a step in the right direction.
The Rt. Rev. Owusu stated that maintaining a disciplined society was a necessity for long-term socioeconomic success and that all hands must be on deck to find a long-term solution to teenage delinquency, which might pose a danger to Ghanaian society's peace and harmony.
