General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Johnson Asiedu Nketia has lauded government for the Nation Builders Corps policy.
But, he is worried about the implementation of the policy.
The Nation Builders Corps (NaBCo) is a government initiative aimed at addressing graduate unemployment in Ghana.
The programme was launched by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on May 1, 2018.
Central to its objectives is to engage the raw talents of unemployed graduates and equip them with skills through a process of value addition and training.
The scheme will this year employ 100,000 graduates under seven modules, namely; Educate Ghana, Heal Ghana, Feed Ghana, Revenue Ghana, Digitize Ghana, Civic Ghana and Enterprise Ghana.
Placement in the NaBCo will last for a period of 3 years under a stipend of GH¢700 every month.
The NaBCo is opened to all Ghanaians who have discharged their national service obligations.
Speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, he explained that the policy itself sounds good but fears for its successful implementation.
"There is nothing wrong with Government creating employment avenues for the unemployed Ghanaian Youth, but if you are unable to sustain the programme, the country is back to square one", he explained.
"My other worry is why should the NPP start claiming applause when indeed actually the policy has not been implemented yet, we saw same in the Kuffour administration.
"They should wait for the programme to be implemented and successfully executed before they start claiming applause for it", he insisted.
The NDC scribe on the whole described the programme as a good policy adding that he believes it will solve the country's unemployment situation.
How To Enroll
To enrol onto the NaBCo, prospective applicants would have to log on to the programme’s website, www.nabco.gov.gh to fill out application forms at no cost or charge.
According to President Akufo-Addo, the online application is necessary to optimise efficiency in the application process as well as serve as an opportunity to check for other available national data basis to avoid fraud.
The application process begins on June 1, 2018 and ends on July 1, 2018.
Selected applicants would be deployed to commence work by August 1, 2018

Let us consider to give this man an opportunity to become president or one of the ministers in Ghana . I think he can be the best of all the présidents Ghana has ever has .
This guy is a demon, he should die for the country to prevail, i think most of these NDC men are too evil to live in the country, they also wish evil for the people of Ghana. If you want the light to be stable, you have to pay more realistic bill "Mahama". considering all their comments, they have nothing better for the country, Ghanaian's are feed up with you devil Asiedu Nketia and your demonic party.
Usual ***barred word*** of an NDC secretary. It is very easy to criticise than to have the mind to think of a policy that will benefit the masses. It is easier to have a double salary and gratuity than to think of a policy like Nabco
i am not surprised by his comment. He is a funny character.
monies they looted, THE BUS BRANDING, THE SADA MONIES, THE WAYOMI MONIES, THE MAHAMA FORD CAR, THE ***barred word***, CORRUPTION AND INSULT, THE MUTIYA 3 WHO MAHAMA RELEASE FROM PRISON, THE MAHAMA 32 BEDROOM HOTEL IN DUBAI WHEN HIS VILLAGERS DONT HAVE WATER TO DRINK, HIS FAMILIES ***barred word***, N,D,C EXECUTIVE MONIES, THE OPUNI, MONIES THE SNNIT MONIES, THE BOASTER MONIES, MAHAMAA IS A DISASTER AND GHANA PEOPLE WILL GIVE HIM 2% COME 2020, the dumsor, poverty, let n,d,c be be in opposition for one million years, ghana people NOTE, NANA ADDO MUST CREATE ONE MILLION JOBS FOR
As usual the NAY SAYERS of the NDC has started bedevilling the programme before its inception. As they did to the programmes of the former president J A Kuffour.
One the the very very rare occasions you make sense and I agree with you. There seem to be too much talk of intentions and plans than actual action. But so what? Ghana must know what is lined up, anyway. For you, even when it rolls, you will still not see it.
it's because of ''***barred word*** be ti''
I pray God continues to give us leaders like Nana Addo and even greater ones.
Asiedu Nketiah why talking?did the NPP made any promise to the ndc before the 2016 elections?they made a promise and had a covenant with the good people od Ghana so what is your problem, why are you cutting your toes because of a promise being fulfilled to Ghanaians? Tell your ndc youth to opt out, nobody is forcing them it is an option something you can join or stay away so why all these kpokpogbligbli attack, hahahahaha! So did you ndc thought NPP has the same weak minds as you?, NPP minds are very sophisticated and ndc will never understand what's going on because they have so many for the good people of Ghana and I mean the majority who believe in them and nobody is forcing ndc to be part just stay away and do your own fuck*ng thing who cares? Ghanaians are happy and believe in the NPP that they can do it and do it better, just enjoy your opposition till 2056 the next party after ndc is PPP they have visionary leaders who are enlightened and wouldn't accept people like Asiedu Nketiah as a general secretary. Ghana deserve better and ndc is not for Ghana, Ghana is too big to have a party like the ndc ruling her, we need to catch up with Rwanda and ndc is not the option. We need visionary, enlightened leaders who can take bold decisions like Nana Akufo Addo, Dr Bawumiah and Papa Kwesi Nduom to move our country forward not Asiedu Nketiah, Koku Anyidoho, Suhuyini, John mahama, Inusah Fuseini, A.B.A Fuseini, Muntaka, Murtala, Akanda, George Loh, Ablakwah, Kwaku Boahen, Kofi Adams etc like we are a nation of jokers ! Never again ! Let them continue barking like they did in power which sent them to opposition and they will remain in opposition forever. Ghanaians are discerning and don't need ndc to advise them. The good people have passed where ndc will advise Becareful when they are enjoying.
