A pressure group, Unemployed Graduates Association of Ghana (UGAG), has served notice to government that members of the association will soon hit the streets to protest, if it fails to deliver on its promise to provide decent jobs for many unemployed graduates. This fresh warning to hit the streets comes in the wake of the fact that they believe the Mills-Mahama administration has been unsuccessful in providing jobs for unemployed graduates. The caveat was issued yesterday at a media briefing in Accra. The UGAG president, Justice Antwi, who spoke to Citi news after the conference said: �We find it fit to send a strong signal to government for it to, as it were, know that these are the number of graduates who are unemployed, struggling for survival and also trying to improve their condition. "We would not want to give government an ultimatum but we have given ourselves a month to see if government will come out with any policy alternatives�. Mr. Antwi advised government to set up a business fund to assist the youth to facilitate their own ventures when they graduate from the university. Moreover, if government could assist young entrepreneurs with incentive or tax relief packages, UGAG believed, that would go a long way to solve the current unemployment crisis.
