Professor Johnson Kwakye, a retired lecturer and Chief Examiner of Ghana Pharmacy Professional Qualifying Examination, has charged the unemployed university graduates to start up their own businesses.
According to him, those who have completed the Tertiary institution must not form any unemployment association for any reason but should begin with business-like hawking.
Speaking to Akua Akyaamaa host of ‘Wasesame’ show on Oyerepa FM, the Chief Examiner said, we go to university to seek knowledge and make a living out of it not to sit down for a white-collar job.
He revealed how he used to wash empty bottles and used them to sell his herbal medicine via that he is now a Pharmacist.
He however recounted how a woman who came to him for work despised him when he advised her to let her son join her petty trading.
“My female church member once came to me to help her son secure government work. I told her to let the boy join her in trading for some time but she was angry and walked out on me.”
“We go to university to acquire knowledge to start a life, so as a graduate you can do other things, don’t rely only on the course you studied,” he advised.
