The Chairman of the workers union Dr Yaw Baah was speaking when they paid a courtesy call on President Mahama to introduce themselves to him as the newly elected executive body of the Union.

Dr Baah said “one of the legacies you are leaving for us and which we will always remember in Ghana and Africa as a whole is the virtue of tolerance. Your ability to tolerate diverse views even when you are personally under attack, is an indicator of a good leader.”

“We urge all African leaders to emulate your excellent example because tolerance is the key ingredient for peace,” he added.

The TUC also welcomed the plans of government to increase the number of jobs in the country.

“We have taken note of your plans to increase jobs under the Youth Employment Agency from the current GHC 100,000 to GHC 400,000. You’ve also indicated your plans to increase funding for the youth enterprise support from GHC10 million to GHC100 million if you are re-elected. These initiatives will go a long way to address the acute joblessness among young people in Ghana.”

“We also expect you to do something about the high interest rates and the high cost of living if you get the nod. Because of the high cost of living, many of our members survive on loans. Businesses also rely on loans for expansion.”

Meanwhile President Mahama assured the TUC that they will continue to dialogue with all the appropriate stakeholders for better conditions in the country.
