President
\nAkufo-Addo has charged winners of this year\u2019s \u2018Presidential Pitch\u2019 competition
\nto endeavour to create job opportunities for others to benefit. This was when
\nhe presented cheques to winners of the competition at the Jubilee House on Tuesday.\n<\/p>\n

In
\ncongratulating them, President Akufo-Addo said, \u201cI think the minister\u2019s call
\nthat you should be instruments for job creation is at the
\nheart of it, because that is what at end of the day, entrepreneurial ability
\nshould lead to \u2013 setting up new businesses, thinking of new ways of dealing
\nwith issues that allow other people also to be brought into the world of
\nemployment and business.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI
\nwant to congratulate you once again very fervently on what I saw and what you
\ndid,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In
\nview of the fact that winners of last year\u2019s edition of the competition have
\nmanaged to create not less than 207 jobs, the President could not but charged
\nall 10 winners of this year\u2019s award to emphasise job creation, insisting that
\n\u201cevery generation should advance on the previous.\u201d<\/p>\n

He expressed the hope that this year round they would do even better than their predecessors, saying \u201cwe are expecting a lot from you not just next year, but in the years down the road because already you\u2019ve shown the talents, the ability, the creativity and that\u2019s how we are going to build our country\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

On
\nbehalf of all the winners, the ultimate winner of the competition, Emily Otoo Quayson,
\nexpressed deep-seated appreciation to the President for the honour done them by
\nway of provision of seed capital for their businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cI
\nwould like to fully assure you that we will utilize the funds fully to employ
\nother people and contribute to the development of our country,\u201d she stressed.<\/p>\n
