Beneficiaries of Nation Builders Corps (NABCo) programme, on Thursday, hit the streets of Accra to register their displeasure about the delay in the payment of their allowances.

According to the aggrieved protestors, government has failed to pay them for a period of 10 month.

The lack of remuneration, according to the NABCo amidst the current economic challenges has made life unbearable.

Demanding government to provide the necessary financial commitment promised them, the agitated group presented a presented a petition to the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

Deputy Chief of Staff, Emmanuel Adumua-Bossman, received the petition on behalf of the Vice President.

“This government is indeed a listening government so these things that you have scripted shall be carefully considered at the highest levels and as soon as it is practicable, you would hear something tangible on the issues you have raised.”

The NABCo program is expected to end in September this year, after it was extended by the Government.

The Akufo-Addo-led administration introduced NABCo in 2017 as part of measures to address graduate unemployment in the country.

The initiative was run under seven modules: Educate Ghana, Heal Ghana, Feed Ghana, Revenue Ghana, Digitize Ghana, Enterprise Ghana, and Civic Ghana.

It was reported that government invested approximately GH¢2.2 billion into the policy.
