Some of the disappointed Nation Builders Corps (NABCo) employees took to the streets of Accra to demand the payment of their unpaid allowances for the past ten months.
The beneficiaries, whose program will end this September after being extended for a year by the government, have complained that life has become unbearable due to the deterioration of economic conditions.
In a protest, the beneficiaries appealed to Government to make budget available to the Secretariat for onward disbursement.
They additionally presented a petition to the Vice President.
Deputy Chief of Staff, Emmanuel Adumua-Bossman, received the petition on behalf of the Vice President.
“This authorities is indeed a listening government so this stuff which you have scripted will be cautiously taken into consideration at the best degrees and as soon as it is practicable, you would hear some thing tangible on the issues you have raised.”
“May all people remain a bit bit greater patient… We understand that it's been a trying time not just for most effective you but for the entirety of Ghanaians,” Mr. Adumua-Bossman stated.
NABCo became first of all supposed to run for 3 years and prolonged for an extra year.
The Programme was aimed at attractive 100,000 younger graduates.
Though the authorities invested about GH¢2.2 billion into the policy, some of the corps complained approximately the non-payment of allowances by the government.
The programme was said to have ended in October 2021, though trainees have been asked to keep working.
The authorities had indicated, in the course of the presentation of the 2022 budget, that the YouStart programme and a Digital inclusion software might gradually soak up the remaining NABCo trainees.
The Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) program is a government initiative aimed at addressing graduate unemployment and addressing social issues. The initiative's focus will be on improving public service delivery in health, education, agriculture, technology, and governance, as well as driving revenue mobilization and collection.
