Prez. advocates the employment of NaBCo trainees

President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has urged the National Builders Corps (NaBCo) Module Implementation Partners (MIPs) to prioritise the employment of trainees on the Scheme.

Speaking at a career fair to mark the first anniversary of NaBCo on Thursday, October, 17, President Akufo-Addo said “thus far, the NaBCo Module Implementation Partners have fulfilled their part of the bargain.

‘I commend them for their partnership on the Scheme and will appeal to them to recognise and reward the sacrifices made by trainees.

‘They should be the first to be considered when opportunities for permanent employment come up,” he added’.

The president said Ghana can be moved to a situation beyond aid i.e. a Ghana that has discarded a mindset of aid, dependency, charity and hand-outs.

NaBCo was established by President Akufo Addo in 2018, to help address the challenges facing the economy by providing unemployed graduates with jobs partly due to a ban on public sector employment imposed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The Chief Executive Officer of NABCO Dr Ibrahim Anyas, also disclosed that Over 11,000 NADMO recruits have exited the scheme so far.
According to him NABCO is a life saver for those recruits benefiting from the programme.

He said the president’s vision has gone a long way to serve as a relief for many youths, keeping them focus on what to do with their lives.
