Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta has said, one of the government’s flagship programme NABCO will come to an end September 2022.
Addressing Parliament while delivering the Mid-Year Budget Review on Monday, 25 July 2022, Mr Ofori-Atta said “Mr. Speaker, our iconic National Builder’s Corps (NaBCo) programme, which was initially to run for three years and extended for an additional year, will be completed by 1st September 2022. The Programme- which engaged a 100,000 young graduates, has prepared thousands of them for the world of work. So far we have invested approximately GH¢2.2 billion. As they exit, the current cohort on the programme are encouraged to take advantage of the YouStart initiative and other existing programmes in our drive to build an Entrepreneurial Nation”. He stated
He said, “Government’s policy is to support dynamic young entrepreneur’s access training and funds to build their businesses and become a significant pool of job providers for their fellow young people.
Meanwhile, beneficiaries of NABCO have not received their stipends for over 8 months after government directs them to stay at post.
