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.

KWADWO DON'T MIND THIS IDIOOOOT OPPOSITION NDC THEY HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER.
Did you do as you ask to MENZGOLD.
THERE THEY GO AGAIN, NATION WRECKERS!!THE GOVT NEEDS A RESPONSIBLE OPPOSITION WHO WILL GIVE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM NOT NOISE MAKERS.
Did you wished the NDC well when they were in office? What goes round, comes around. Your party made the country ungovernable or the NDC Government by burning markets and other places etc. Now you say wetin? Pray for your party to sucked? Interesting!!!!
When did this call become a mantra in politics? When you were in opposition did you wish the ruling government well? You took advantage of their failures and booted them out of government! So what are you saying now, Honourable? Exhibit your competencies and win the support of the people. Politics in this country has been reduced mainly to partisan participation and this does not augur well for meaningful growth in the country.
please get out there with your big head, why is it that you the NPP did not wish the NDC and Mahama well to succeed and were always looking for their downfall when they were actually doing better than Nana Addo and the NPP and now you want who to wish you well? your big head get out from there and do not let me see or hear from you, sh*t men
Say that to your finance minister. You see the affect of creating panic in the financial sector, now your own DATA BANK is also having serious panic redrawals. CAL BANK is also facing the same problems, these two banks are finding it very hard to pay cheques, why don't you close them like you did to others? You see what your hatred for your competitors has brought! Now your own DATA BANK is also collapsing!! Even though there was nothing wrong with UNI bank you went ahead to close it.
Oh because you’re called Oppong so we should all pray that you succeed , I see. Since when did you start thinking like this. It’s hypocrisy and double standards from people like you that’s destroying this country. If it’s you everyone should support you and be patriotic but if it’s another group they are not worth your support. I hope you will sing the same song in opposition when you’ find yourself there one of these days
Friends,which policy did NDC initiate that they need NPP support. Please lets contribute better and leave them politician to do their correction
Look at u today. Did you do same when you were in opposition ? You will face more critics than what think.
