An aspiring National Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Wonder Madilo has raised concern over the number of unemployed graduates registered under the Nation Builders Corps (NaBCo) that passed out on Wednesday, at the Independence Square.
According to him, the number of recruits that showed up at the inaugural ceremony is less than the 100,000 members government claims to have recruited, hence he suspects ghost names in the scheme.
He made this allegation during a pre-election debate for aspirants in the party’s upcoming National Executive Elections.
President Akufo-Addo on Wednesday graduated recruits of the NaBCo who have accepted their postings.
Graduates from the Central, Western, Ashanti, Eastern, Volta and Greater Accra regions converged at the Black Star Square for the national ceremony, whiles the Northern, Upper East, Upper West and the Brong Ahafo regions were asked to send representatives to the ceremony.
However, there was a low turn out of the recruits at the inaugural ceremony.
The NDC believes the recruits are not up to the number being speculated by government.
Mr. Madilo who is former MCE for Akuapem North, said “I know the capacity of the square. Are you telling me that the number of people there was equal to anywhere near the 100,000? I know there will be ghost names on that payroll.”
Pre-Election Debate
The debate which is the first of its kind, was organized by the Centre for Social Democracy (CSD-Ghana) in partnership the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES).
Aspiring candidates for the National Youth Organizing position made up of Yaw Brogya Gemfi, George Opare Addo and Wonder Madilo, took turns to communicate their ideas to delegates who had gathered at the auditorium.
The debate was attended by Ambassador Lee Okran, Member of Parliament for Tamale North, Alhassan Suhunyi, and some members of the NDC.
It seeks to promote a healthy competition among aspirants to explicitly explain their idea to delegates and also engender internal democracy within the NDC.

The argument of this guy tarnishes the image of NDC. How could such a person, who cannot think right could rise through the ranks of the party to contest such an office. Was he expectinevery Tom, Harry and ***barred word*** to attend the inaugural ceremony. this guy is not smart
Inconsistencies on the part of NDC wrt NABCO. One day it's a bad idea, another day the remuneration is meagre, and now they say what, the numbers? They even called it Nana Bawumiah company. They seem dazed by what this govt is doing to alleviate hardships of the youth. Konongo kaya syndrome.
I don't think this guy is Ghanaian. Because in Ghanaian culture not everyone attends functions that are related to them. if you want to whether they have recruited 100000 graduates then go to every district and check for yourself from district coordination offices of NABCO. You will be in opposition for 24 years
C'K'ONCERT MAN
Did they government say all the hundred thousand attended the event or it was voluntary. This people with their backward thinking wants to rule us.
Folks do you now see why the worst thing we can do as Ghanaians is to cast a ballot for the NDC?All these dead brains want to be in public office.All they want to do is to come back and continue from where they left off. To st3al like no man's business.This junk yard dog actually expected 100,000 people from all over the country to be at the square for the inauguration. OMG have mercy on us.
So this person was a DCE for Akuapem North. No wonder nothing happened in that area. His incompetence knows no bounds just like his master 4
In fact this guy has exposed the mindset of the ndc. Period
Oh !!! Asem O... I'm even lost for words. God help us and save us forever from this crop of NDC ,,,,
