Government has announced the release of allowances for nursing trainees in all government assisted colleges.

He was addressing the students at a durbar held in honour of Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, a citizen of the area who is on a campaign tour of the Region.
The deputy Health Minister said the students can cross check with their Principals for proof adding that the amount which covers a period of three months will give room for the necessary arrangements to be made for students to access loans to continue their education.
He noted that President John MAHAMA's administration is on record for being the government which has invested so heavily in the health sector over the last four years.
Mr Bampoe mentioned Polyclinics completed or at various stages of completion across the regions, over 17 district hospitals, CHPS compounds, and major facilities like the University of Ghana Medical Center, the Ridge Hospital, the Kumasi Military Hospital which he said will create thousands of jobs for students.

Take the 3 months allowances and vote against the corrupt cr1m1nal incompetent Mahamah. It's your money, ***barred word***. What does he take you guys for... ***barred word***? We're sick and tired of BORROW, INFLATE, QUID PRO QUO CONTRACTS, CREATE, LOOT, SHARE and COVERUP. Enough is enough. Give JM the boot he deserves. JM, his family, party members, friends, girlfriends and his gang of ***barred word*** are enriching themselves at the expense of the nation. Why are we paying $2 billion for only 500 mw of power through the contract Ghana sign with Karpower and AMERIGROUP? They are making capital out of DUMSOR. They've spent billions of dollars with little results. The hell with JM.
mind you nurses, don't be deceived. it is just a rhetoric. read paragraph 5, its only for 3 months, thereafter migrate you to a loan scheme from January 2017. don't be tricked, because you were looking forward to the restoration of the allowance continuously.
What at all is NDC takings Ghanaians for?.what can 3mth coins do for the students? u call this one "Alawa" .this is not "alaw" . students' remember that some of your seniors are still in their home unemployed.vote well.
I THOUGHT MR PRESIDENT YOU MADE A VOWED THAT YOU WILL BETTER LOOSE THAN PAYING THEIR ALLOWANCE. OH NOW U WANT POWER AGAIN SO YOU THINK THEY ARE ***barred word*** TO BE CONVINCE. ITS LATE N YOU ARE LATE. WHERE ARE THE NDC FOLLOWERS.WHAT ARE YOU SAYING ABOUT THIS.
AND WILL REDRAW IT AFTER WINNING ELECTIONS. NURSES DON'T BE '***barred word***$$%ED'. THE VICE-PRESIDENT SAID IF THEY CONTINUE TO PAY IT THEIR 'ECOMINI' WILL BE UNSTABLE. THIS IS ELECTION GYMNASTICS! NANA ADDO WILL DO IT BETTER. CHANGE IS COMING!
Gud obeversation people, they will only pay it for December and it will be over ,take and vote against them it is part of the freebie, the question is why now? The president said if not paying allows will make him lose is he was prepared to lose the election
Why now John Mahamah? They're not as gullible as you think. My advice; they should take the allowances and vote against JM and NDC for taking them for ***barred word***.
Bohye ba John Mahama. Whatever you do,you cant convince us. You will surely fade out.Disappointed government
I have only two questions. 1. How much was the allowance before it was cancelled, and how much is he 'paying' now? 2. Why now? Sorry Ndc, it's too late.
This is a sign of frustration. Take it but vote against them bcos Prez Mahama has decided to remove it again if he wins. Vote for Nana Addo for the full allowance to be restored.. Mahama will lose like Hilary
