President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Tuesday asked winners of the 2019 edition of the Presidential Pitch competition to leverage the programme to create jobs for others to enter the world of work and business.

He told them that they ought to be instruments for job creation "because that is what at the end of the day, entrepreneurial ability should lead to".

The President made the call when he presented cheques to the winners of the competition at the Jubilee House in Accra.
