The search for socio-economic development in Ghana and other developing countries does not end with the striking of oil, gold, diamond and other minerals, according to the Vice-Chancellor of Valley View University.<\/p>\n
Prof. Dr. Daniel Bour however says sustainable economic growth of emerging economies demands the establishment of structures and infrastructure for the training of entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n
He was speaking at a 4-day International Entrepreneurship Conference being held in Kumasi under the theme \u201cUnlocking your Entrepreneurial Potentials for Wealth Creation\u201d.<\/p>\n
Prof. Buor says the panacea to the country\u2019s unemployment and the drive for economic advancement is entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n
He observed that \u201cNigeria has over 35 billion tonnes of oil hidden, Gabon and others but look at what is happening \u2013 crisis upon crises. Produce entrepreneurs and underdevelopment will be a thing of the past.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe State must provide resources to put in place institutions, structures and infrastructure adequate enough to ensure sustainable training of entrepreneurs. And when you talk of entrepreneurship, you don\u2019t talk of theories \u2013 theory plus practice will lead to development\u201d.<\/p>\n
The ongoing conference is organized by the African Collegiate Entrepreneurship (ACE) in collaboration with the Torch Bearers Diaspora USA.<\/p>\n
Director of the organization, Dr. Isaac Fordjour, said the programme is geared towards empowering the youth to be independent of government.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe go to the grassroots, the young people who need business, they are the ones who should develop the businesses. We\u2019re not expecting the government to create businesses for us; they\u2019ve had the opportunity to do that all these years, they haven\u2019t done it and we want the young people not to depend on anybody else, and when they become successful businessmen, then the government will come to them\u201d, he told Luv Fm.<\/p>\n
