In his submission, the Local NUGS President disclosed that, there have been several efforts by students in creating great business ideas and initiatives (ie:Tekpreneurship Challenge), which hardly survive due to the lack of the right nurturing and resources. He took the opportunity to introduce some entrepreneurial challenge initiatives on campus to the Minister and solicited for the support of the ministry in the initiative.
The Minister took the opportunity to express the preparedness of the Government in growing youth entrepreneurship as an alternative to economic development.
He expressed his pleasure in the efforts made by the student executives of NUGS-KNUST in visiting his office and encouraged that students take opportunity of his open doors to develop themselves and to take bold steps into entrepreneurship, as means to financial freedom.
