John Mahama, the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has challenged Dr. Bawumia and the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) to clear arrears owed Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) trainees if they care for the youth. Apexnewsgh reports
He highlighted the plight of former Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) trainees, who have been waiting for months to receive their unpaid allowances.
Mr. Mahama pointed out that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) had promised to secure jobs for the NABCO trainees after completing their program, but this promise has yet to be fulfilled. He argued that Dr. Bawumia, the NPP’s presidential candidate, should prioritize resolving NABCO’s outstanding financial obligations before making new promises on youth employment.
“The governing NPP promised to provide jobs for the NABCO trainees after completion. It has been over three years, and that has not happened. The allowances they also promised them during the training have not been paid,” Mr. Mahama said.
He emphasized that Dr. Bawumia should address the concerns of the NABCO trainees before making new promises to the youth.
Mr. Mahama’s remarks came after Dr. Bawumia’s recent address at the Youth Connect program, where he highlighted the importance of youth in his vision for Ghana.
Mr. Mahama’s comments were also echoed in a report by (link unavailable), which noted that the NABCO trainees have been waiting for months to receive their unpaid allowances.
