ICU urges President Mahama to revitalise VALCO, PBC and distressed state-owned enterprises

The Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union (ICU), Ghana, has appealed to President John Dramani Mahama to recapitalise and revive distressed state-owned enterprises, arguing that doing so would create thousands of jobs for unemployed youth and accelerate the country's industrialisation agenda. The appeal was contained in a resolution adopted at the union's 65th Regular National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held on July 31, 2026.
