Mr Dennis Kwakwa, the Ashanti Regional Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) Director, has denied claims by the NABCo trainees that the government promised to offer them a permanent job.
The government’s flagship programme (NABCo) was aimed at engaging 100,000 young graduates. Initially, it was supposed to run for three years but was extended for an additional year. It finally came to an end, on September 1, 2022.
Most of the beneficiaries were calling on the government to give them a permanent jobs as it promised.
But speaking on Oyerepa Breakfast Time, the Ashanti regional director of NABCo stated that NPP government never promised the trainees a permanent job.
“Nobody promised the trainees a permanent job. In the contract letter we gave them, there was nothing like a permanent job. The letter stated that NABCo is a voluntary scheme”. He said.
When Dennis Kwakwa was referred by the host on the Minister of State at the Office of the Presidency, Fredda Prempeh’s pronouncement in parliament about permanent jobs for NABCo trainees, he responded that “Fredda Prempeh is not a management member of NABCo, she is a minister of state.”
He further denied that they never included permanent jobs when the program was initiated in 2018.
