National Organiser of the opposition National Democratic Congress, Kofi Adams, has described government’s Nation Builder’s Corps (NABCO) as a repeated initiative.
According to him, the initiative will deplete the country’s resources.
Government introduced the NABCO initiative as part of its commitment towards addressing the high youth unemployment in the country.Already, 100,000 recruits of NABCO have successfully passed out today, Wednesday, October 17, 2018 in Accra.
But speaking on Citi TV’s Breakfast Daily, Mr. Adams maintained that NABCO should have been run under already existent systems like the Youth Employment Agency (YEA).
“Why the rush in changing and renaming things? This is creating its own bureaucracy and wasting so much. That is my worry. Aside from the worry of these professionals who feel that there is space and opportunity, this is bureaucracy that is taking so much from our coffers.”
NaBCo programme is unsustainable – Ade Coker
The Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Ade Coker, has also said the programme is unsustainable.
According to him, jobs to be provided under the programme are momentary, and will not enable young people to build a career nor address the challenge of unemployment in the country.
He stated that the youth to be employed under NABCO would go back to be jobless after a short period because the jobs NABCO is offering are not permanent jobs.
“We have been here before; these jobs are not sustainable jobs. How long are these youth going to have their jobs for? The youth should be offered jobs that will last for a very long time, jobs they can build their careers on. Let’s get the youth serious jobs for once.” he said.
NABCO will succeed – Nana Addo tells critics
President Akufo-Addo on Wednesday hit back at critics who downplayed the impact of the Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) initiative.
Nana Akufo-Addo says the initiative will go a long way to partly address the current unemployment situation in the country.
He is optimistic the country will benefit from the talents of the NABCo graduates.
“As has become the norm with every bold initiative proposed by this administration, this programme, predictably, was not only ridiculed in certain quarters but also met with pessimistic and cynical comments with some going to the extent of urging graduates from our nations tertiary institutions not to register for the programme. In NABCO, we have planted the seeds of growth and future of our country. I am in no doubt whatsoever that NABCO will succeed,” he added.
What is NABCO about?
NABCo was launched in May 2018.
It runs under six modules namely Educate Ghana, Revenue Ghana, Heal Ghana, Enterprise Ghana, Digital Ghana, Feed Ghana and Civic Ghana.
President Akufo-Addo introduced the Nation Builder’s Corps as an alternative job creation opportunity for the country’s jobless graduates.
The programme, which will be managed by the office of the President, will focus on alleviating shortfalls in public service delivery.

Hi Kofi how are the v8's doing? you had more after leaving power abi? we have not forgotten.
YOUTH OF GH HEAR THEM AS THEY CONDEMN SOMETHING THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO. AS THEY CONDEMN SOMETHING NANA HAS DONE TO MAKE YOU HAPPY. WHEN THEY COME TO YOU FOR YOUR VOTE TELL THEM IN THEIR FACES. NATION WRECKERS!!!!
Hi Kofi If you have said something positive about the program i will be highly disappointed in you. As opposition my expectation is what you just said. Meanwhile Nana and his NPP are soaring high. the battle is still the Lords. before you come to terms NPP has achieve most if not all their promises.
look at who is talking, is that money used for this programme your money, NPP is not like NDC who chop and chop GHANAIAN's money waa waa, NPP will use Ghanaian's money to support Ghanaian's not to better themselves like NDC'S.
Some staff of Ministry of Finance are taking large sums of monies from prospective vehicle loan seekers b4 processing their papers
So can't NDC get some these guys like Kofi Adams to stop talking for them? Something over 100 graduates who have been frustrated by life after "uni" are celebrating. It is politically inccorrect if the NDC must know. Those 100 graduates cannot all be NPP so talking like this will only make NDC unpopular among these guys. People like Kofi Adams have no idea what it feels like to be sitting at home looking into your mother's face after she has sent you to university? Even to bath and dress up to work in the morning is healing enough is they must know.
Dadaa naaaaaaaaaaaaa! NDC ni3 aka mueee ni ! it is not feasible....NDC roll out your policies and stop the hypocraziness.
