John Dramani Mahama, the presidential candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has challenged Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to pay NABCO trainees their allowances if he is truly for the youth, as he claims.
The former President was responding to Bawumia’s pledge to prioritise Ghanaian youth if elected president.
During his Oti Regional tour, Mahama questioned the credibility of Dr Bawumia’s promise, citing the struggles of former Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) trainees who are still owed several months in unpaid allowances.
“The governing NPP promised to provide jobs for the NABCO trainees after completion. It has been over three years and that has not happened. The allowances they also promised them during the training have not been paid.
“It is really sad because all attempts by the trainees to have their concerns addressed have been unsuccessful. If indeed Dr. Bawumia is committed to providing jobs for the youth, he should first address their concerns.”
