President Akufo-Addo has tasked graduates of the Nation Builders Corps (NaBCO)  to be “dutiful and productive in the areas they have been assigned.

Mr Akufo-Addo advised beneficiaries to also show seriousness in the confidence reposed in them.

The President gave the advice on Wednesday, 17 October 2018 when he initiated into office the 100,000 graduates of NaBCO after going through posting processes over the past months.

An elated  President Akufo-Addo told the gathering that “cynics and pessimists” have been proven wrong “once again” with the coming into force of the NaBCO programme.

The 100, 000 graduates have been enrolled onto seven modules of the programme and are expected to be on it for the next three years with a monthly stipend of GHC700.00.

The selected 100,000 recruits who graduated today after several weeks of rigorous training and capacity building in their various chosen modules are expected to exit the programme after three years.

They were placed on Civic Ghana, Revenue Ghana, Educate Ghana, Enterprise Ghana, Digitize Ghana, Heal Ghana and Feed Ghana modules of the programme.

NaBCO was launched by Akufo-Addo as part of government’s initiative to provide jobs for the country’s unemployed graduates.  The seven modules under NABCO is meant to help address the challenges facing the nation’s most pressing sectors while providing jobs to graduates who are unable to find jobs partly due to a ban on public sector employment by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
