NABCO trainees have indicated to President Akufo-Addo that, they are dying of hunger and may not live to see the economy bounce back due to non-payment of their seven (7) months stipends arrears.
According to members, following the expiration of their three-year engagement with NABCO last year, Government asked them to remain at post and has since been going to work every day and attending to their various duties diligently without fail but unfortunately, they have not been paid any stipends in the past seven (7) months.
Speaking in an interview with the media, Dennis Katakyie, the National President of NABCO Trainees Association of Ghana (NABTAG) revealed they had been plunged into a point of ‘hopelessness’ as the government has given death ears to their pressing issues.
Dennis Katakyie concluded that the ultimate goal of reducing graduate unemployment through the introduction of the NABCO program cannot be materialised if beneficiaries who were directed to remain at post pending permanency employment arrangements are not absorbed into the mainstream work as once promised by the President Nana Akufo-Addo.
