Founder and Leader of the New Force Movement, Nana Kwame Bediako popularly known as Cheddar has promised to create about 8 million jobs in the next 10 years if given the nod in the upcoming election.

The initiative is to help solve the problem of high rate of unemployment as well as increase economic growth across the country.

Speaking during the launch of the New Force Movement’s 12 pillars for economic freedom, Mr. Bediako said his movement’s research on attribution reserve shows that gold, iron ore, gas, bauxite, lithium, diamond, potential agro-processing and all the arable lands in the country, amount to $2.4 trillion.

“We are determined to bring out every region’s wealth. So, as you can see, we have searched every region inside out and realized what sort of wealth that can be created there and projected it in the next 10 years, Ghana will have an economic output of $4.7 trillion, he stressed.

According to him, with the country’s 13 million hectares of arable lands with all the minerals, his movement will create 8 million jobs in a decade.

He indicated that the Ashanti Region for example has $240 billion worth of gold, lithium and arable spaces to create the biggest potential farming for export.

Touching on the economic potentials of other regions, Nana Kwame Bediako who described the Western Region as the Texas of Africa said the region will have industrial plants as well as agro products to be processed to supply the entire continent and the world at large.

“We have to take the western region serious. Over $400 billion worth of resources is something for us to take very serious because it is going to create all the jobs in the western side and even bring people from other parts of Ghana. We are going into wealth creation and I want to do this with you Ghana. As you can see, wealth creation comes with job creation, he added.

The business mogul further promised to build an oil refinery to help refine the over 200 thousand barrels of oil produce in the country per day. This, he said will make the prices of fuel competitive and in turn reduce the high rate of inflation.
