Chairman of the People's National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah, has accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of inaugurating 100,000 unemployed graduates for non-existent NABCo jobs.
The President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, in May 2018, launched the Nation Builders Corps (NABCO).
The Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) programme is a government initiative to address graduate unemployment to solve social problems. The focus of the initiative is solving public service delivery in health, education, agriculture, technology, governance and drive revenue mobilization and collection.
Under the programme, graduates will be trained, equipped with the necessary work tools and deployed around the country to engage in the following programmes: Educate Ghana, Heal Ghana, Feed Ghana, Revenue Ghana, Digitize Ghana, Civic Ghana, Enterprise Ghana.
According to the PNC Chairman, the seven modules under the NABCo programme already has existing ministries performing the duties these NABCo trainees will be performing.
“Who is feeding Ghana? is it the Agric Ministry or NABCo? The Ministry of Environment, Science and Technology is digitizing Ghana, Ministry of health is healing Ghana, Ministry of education is educating Ghana and the list goes on. It is good that we have come up with these seven modules but we already have existing modules performing these duties,” he stated.
Mr. Mornah made the comments on Atinka AM Drive hosted by Ekourba Gyasi Wednesday.
According to him, the NPP should scrap the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Agriculture if NABCO can feed and teach Ghana respectively.
President Akufo Addo on Wednesday passed out about 100,000 NABCo trainees at the Black Star Square in Accra to usher the beneficiaries into their respective NABCO modules.
