The long-standing issue of unpaid stipends for National Builders Corps (NABCO) beneficiaries may soon be resolved, thanks to the intervention of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. Apexnewsgh reports
The Vice President has taken a keen interest in the plight of the beneficiaries, who have gone eight months without payment.
During a recent visit to the Volta Region, Dr. Bawumia responded to a question from a local chief regarding the government’s plans to settle the outstanding stipends. He assured the chief and the beneficiaries that the government is committed to paying the owed stipends.
Dr. Bawumia acknowledged that the government still owes some stipends, which should be paid, and he promised to push the Ministry of Finance to settle the payments.
He explained that the delay in payment was not intentional but rather a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted the economy.
The Vice President’s intervention brings hope to the affected beneficiaries, who have been struggling to make ends meet due to the non-payment of their stipends.
The move is seen as a testament to the government’s commitment to addressing the challenges faced by the youth and ensuring their welfare.
The payment of the outstanding stipends is expected to bring relief to the beneficiaries, who have been patiently waiting for months.
The government’s efforts to address this issue are likely to restore trust and confidence in the NABCO program, which aims to provide skills and employment opportunities to young Ghanaians.
