President Nana Akufo-Addo says the NABCO programme represents the beginning of “the process of banishing the spectre of desperation, and restoring hope and dignity to our youth.”
The Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri in the Eastern Region, Frank Annoh-Dompreh has challenged the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to come up with a better alternative, instead of slamming the Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) initiative.
“If NABCO is a vote buying move then as a credible opposition let them provide a better alternative,” Frank Annoh-Dompreh told Kojo Yankson, co-host of the AM show on Joy News TV, Thursday.
He was responding to comments by Tamale North MP, Alhassan Suhuyini, that the NABCO initiative was just a “vote buying gimmick”.
The NDC Parliamentarian who was also on the show, expressed concerns on the ability of the NABCO initiative to solve Ghana’s unemployment issues.

NABCO was not one of the means that the government said they were going to use to provide jobs for the youth, Suyuhini stated.
“This government promised to provide jobs through the one district one factory initiative thus the GHȻ3bn could be used to create the factories they promised,” he argued.
