Nation Builders Corps NABCO is an initiative introduced by the government of Ghana which provided jobs to 1,00,000 unemployed university graduates in 2018 alone.
The aim of the initiative was to solve various social problems in both the private and public sectors and build their skills as well as promote economic growth in the country.
Over two thousand eight hundred and ninety six of these Trainees were allocated to the Upper West Region who were further posted to the various government department and agencies.
One year down the line, these one hundred thousand beneficiaries of the Nation Builders Corps NABCO are showing gratitude to the government and people of Ghana by spending a fraction of their stipets to give back to the society to mark the 1st anniversary of the Programme. In the Upper West Region, activities such as floats on the principal streets across all the eleven districts and municipalities in the region.
In the Wa Municipality for instance, a clean up exercise and a donation to the Children Ward of the Wa Hospital was done in addition to the float.
These activities were lined to run from 1st October and climaxed with blood donation which also started from 11th to 14th October with a durbar of chiefs at the Jubilee park in Wa.
The nationwide celebration will be brought to a close with a two day programme in Accra spanning from the 17th to 18th October with representatives from all districts across Ghana.
Speaking to the Times Crusader Reporter in Wa, the NABCO Coordinator for Wa Municipality, Muhammed Nuru Mahama expressed hope that the NABCO beneficiaries would actively participate in all the activities that were lined up to mark the anniversary celebration.
He encouraged not only the NABCO Trainees to participate in the celebrations particularly the blood donation exercise but also friends and families of the beneficiaries who are benefiting indirectly from NABCO.
According to him, not less than 500 pints of blood was expected to be realized at the end of the blood donation exercise.
Muhammed Nuru Mahama hinted for the information of the beneficiaries that many of the government departments and agencies that have NABCO Traineet working with them have indicated their readiness to formalize their employment in order to offer them permanent jobs.
He therefore urged all the Trainees to take the NABCO initiative serious and prove to their various departments and agencies that they can also take up permanent employment with them.
