The deputy minister-designate for the Savannah region, Samuel Yeyu Tika, has disclosed that 5000 people have been employed by the public sector.

Per a report by Ghanaweb, he explained that the 5000 people are all products of the Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) programme.

According to Tika, the goal of the Akufo-Addo-led policy was gradually being met as some beneficiaries had already moved on from the temporary provision to a permanent one.

He said this when he appeared before the appointments committee of Parliament to be vetted for the position of deputy minister for the Savannah region.

More than 100, 000 graduates have signed onto the seven modules of the Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) Feed Ghana, Educate Ghana, Revenue Ghana, Heal Ghana, Enterprise Ghana, Digitise Ghana and Governance Ghana.

Tika was the first of three nominees for various positions by the committee. If confirmed, he will be appointed as the deputy minister for the Savannah region.
