The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) says they intend to absorb the current workers under the Nation Builders Corps into the public sector if voted into power in December.

This move is to ensure the thousands of NABCO recruits permanent workers and their salaries will be more than the current Ghc 700 they receive from the incumbent government.

NDC Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi said this at a press conference on Wednesday, October 14, 2020.

"The next NDC government will integrate all persons currently engaged on ad hoc basis under the Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) into the Public sector and make them permanent employees. We will change the remuneration of NABCo beneficiaries from their current pittance allowances to decent wages that offer these young ones a decent living.

"NABCo recruits can rest assured that under President John Dramani Mahama, they will have permanent jobs and be paid in time".

The NDC press conference was held to clarify the opposition party's 2020 manifesto to create one million sustainable jobs if elected into government.

NABCO was launched by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on May 1, 2018 to address graduate unemployment in the country.

Central to its objectives is to equip the unemployed graduates with skills through a process of value addition and training.

The scheme is expected to employ 100,000 graduates by the end of 2020 under seven modules namely, the Educate Ghana, Heal Ghana, Feed Ghana, Revenue Ghana, Digitize Ghana, Civic Ghana, and Enterprise.
