The Eastern Regional Minister, Mr Eric Kwakye Darfour has advised unemployed graduates not to listen to the political criticisms of government’s newly outdoored Nation Builders Corps (NABCO).
Instead he urged them to take full advantage of the opportunities offered by the policy.
‘’We can hear undertones behind the scenes, admonishing our youth not to take part in the Nation Builders Corps,’’ he said.
Mr Darfour made these remarks at the graduation ceremony for 515 Community Protection Police (CPP) at Koforidua.
He explained that though the programme was an interim one for a period , it could help them to reduce their dependence on their families and make them independent.
The Community Protection Police is one of the modules under the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) and that was the fourth batch that graduated under the module which brings the total number of youth trained for community protection to 12,000.
The Regional Minister said youth unemployment had been a major challenge for successive governments over the years and kept compounding.
He said the consequences of this unfortunate situation was not felt by families alone, but the country at large since the contributions of the youth to the growth and development of the economy was missing.
Mr Darfour urged the newly graduated recruits to take the opportunity to build their interest in policing and aim at becoming professional police personnel in future.
The Eastern Regional YEA Director, Mr Jerry Osei Poku who spoke to the media in an interview, said his outfit partnered state institutions to create jobs for the teeming unemployed youth.
He however said in as much as they tried to create the jobs they also looked at the ills of the society so that the jobs created would help resolve some of the challenges facing the country.

Ghanaian youth fall for this nice policy to ease you a little bit of your pains. The president is compassionate about your plight caused by John mahama the ***barred word*** former president and his incompetent team of Ali Baba and the 40 thi*ves, half loaf of bread is better than none and it is better to drink water before the dry season sets in so you don't get dehydrated due to ndc wicked and ins*nsitive lack of tangible policies.In any case, this program is not for the ndc, they can stay home for their parents to take care of them until 2056 when ndc may try to come back, ndc is calling this policy a bad one so any ndc member who sign in for this program ask curses on him/herself unless that person denounces ndc. John mahama calls the president and his government incompetent when even in opposition he shows his incompetency by his low standard of education which has produced educated illiterates. Somebody take a look at the banner infront of John mahama with those ndc footsoldies nurses and tell me if this word is spelled Deceit or Deciet and you will know how John mahama has destroyed this nation with his infantile thinking. When even you were in power Ghanaians stood high on their feet forgot about the guns you imported in to kill them and voted massively to send you away, how much more when you are in opposition, he thinks it's easy to come to power from opposition especially when you were in power when the people rejected you for ste*ling , insens*tive, wickedness, insults, arrogance, create l000t and share ,family friends and cronies bonanza. He thinks it will be easy for the 4 regions to get overpopulated overnight to give him power, akoa yi y3 joker! An incompetent visionless, clueless booze man like John mahama who closes at 4 pm for shots when in power think we are ***barred word*** like his followers to line up early in the morning to vote for hardship and clueless people. 2020 ndc b3te peeeee! Ndc ndw3, ndwe3 ndw3 ndw3 ndw3 ndw3!
