Mr Nii Adjei Sowah, the Mayor of Accra, has advised personnel of the Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) to be the new breed of the work force to lead the nation in a new direction.

He said the advent of NABCO would revive the culture of Nation building, which had been absent from the public sector.

Thus, he charged the personnel to contribute their best to the development of their various job environments.

Mr Sowah gave the charge at a durbar held in Accra as part of events by the Greater Accra Regional Secretariat to commemorate the one-year anniversary of NABCO.

He commended the President of the Republic for the initiative which has given jobs to about 100,000 previously unemployed graduates.

Mr Sowah said the anniversary was a time to reflect on the contributions the personnel had brought to the development of the nation.

He admonished them to pay attention to time management since it was key to transforming work attitude and help increase work productivity.

The Mayor asked the trainees to take advantage of the opportunity given them to build their capacity and experience for the job market.

Mr Divine Otoo Agorhom, the Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, said unemployment among the youth posed a major threat to the economy of the nation.

He said NABCO had been effective in reducing the unemployment menace and urged trainees to make an impact at their various job environments even if it required them to do it alone.
