Information Minister-designate, Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah, has challenged the Opposition to be constructive in their critique of government and not prophesy that national programs fail.
Oppong Nkrumah was responding to predictions by NDC MP for Wa Central Rashid Pelpuo that the Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) program will be hit with difficulties leading to collapse.
President Akufo-Addo on Wednesday commissioned the passing out ceremony for 100,000 beneficiaries under NABCO modules which includes Feed Ghana, Educate Ghana, Revenue Ghana, Heal Ghana, Enterprise Ghana, Digitise Ghana and Governance Ghana.
Contributing to a news review discussion program on Accra based Citi TV on thursday, the NDC Wa Central MP criticised the Akufo-Addo administration and described NABCO as a “dishonest approach to job creation”.
“Government has failed in creating jobs. NABCO is a duplication of the already existent YEA program. It will soon be hit with difficulties and will fail,” Rashid Pelpuo said.
But in a sharp rebuttal the Information Minister Designate Kojo Oppong Nkrumah challenged the Minority MP and his colleagues to focus on the wellbeing of Ghanaians and not their selfish interest.
“We expect the minority to encourage us and provide constructive criticism in implementing our major campaign promises and interventions but not wish our downfall” he said.
Oppong Nkrumah said the concept of NABCO was unique because of its attributes which included graduate skills training.
He said government was dealing with the unemployment menace created by the previous NDC administration while complimenting the efforts of the Private Sector with stimulus packages to create more jobs.

My brother with NDC in power, no amount of encouragement would help them to think straight because they were not created to do any better things. In any case what policy did the NDC embarked on apart from sttealling and massive corruption that was the order of the day. I heard Kofi Adamu the Togolese saying that the NDC will revamp the NABCO if they win power. Truly they cannot initiate any social policy than always wait for the NPP to start something for them to poorly manage anytime they were in power.
So you now need encouragement and support of the opposition to succeed. I wish you did support and encourage them to succeed while you were on the other side. What you throw at the wall most likely comes back to hit you.
@ kofi has the NDC ever had any policy or even common campaign messaage for one to support? Is it E DE BII K3K3 or Usain Bolts' whistling you want someone to support? The NDC is intellectually, politically and socially bankrupt. Apart from corruption, lies and insults what do you guys know?
Your post sums it all that you have a cotton wool brain. Your country first okay ? hobo.
