A 30-year-old former NABCO trainee, Deborah Enam Togbe, staged a solitary protest in Kumasi on Saturday, June 29, 2024, demanding payment of overdue wages for herself and her colleagues.

Clutching placards and dressed in red, Deborah marched through the city, drawing attention to their plight.

Starting at Anloga Junction, the protest culminated at the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly, where she submitted a petition intended for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

Deborah, who participated in the Digitize Ghana program, expressed frustration over the government's failure to honor its commitment to pay their wages for the past eight months, despite assurances from the Vice President.

She stressed the urgency of the situation, asserting that mere promises were inadequate.

Ms. Enam Togbe also disclosed that she has been relying on support from friends and family to make ends meet, struggling to cover her expenses.

The Nation Builders Corps (NABCO), launched in 2018 to tackle graduate unemployment, engaged 100,000 graduates across seven modules.

However, with the program now concluded, former trainees like Deborah are left petitioning the government for their overdue payments.

Deborah Enam Togbe's protest serves as a plea to the government of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to fulfill its commitment and settle their arrears, alleviating their financial hardships.
