Graduate nurses, midwives renew protest threat over delayed postings

The Graduate Unemployed Nurses and Midwives Association say it will proceed with plans to stage a protest over what it describes as the government’s prolonged delay in posting its members, some of whom have been home for as long as five years.

A demonstration scheduled for this week was postponed after the association was unable to finalise security arrangements with the Greater Accra Regional Police Command. However, frustration among the graduates continues to grow.

Speaking to Citi News on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, Gamal Osman, who completed his training in 2021, said the extended wait has left many in difficult circumstances.

“I have been in the house for four years. I completed school in 2021. We are all stranded. Remember, completing school and depending on someone is not easy. How to even buy water is not easy,” he said.

The association says it will continue to pursue every lawful avenue to demand the posting of its members until the government responds.
