NABCO ENDS IN SEPTEMBER AND TRAINEES ARE NOT HAPPY.


 The Nation Builders' Corps (NaBCo) programme will officially end in September 2022, according to Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta. According to him, the four-year-old programme has engaged 100,000 young graduates and prepared thousands of them for the workforce.

Mr. Ofori-Atta stated in Parliament on Monday during the presentation of the Mid-year Budget that "our iconic National Builder's Corps (NaBCo) programme, which was initially to run for three years and extended for an additional year, will be completed by September 1, 2022." We have invested approximately GH2.2 billion so far.

"Mr. Speaker, our illustrious National Builders Corps (NaBCo) programme, which was originally scheduled to run for three years before being extended for an additional year, will be completed by September 1st, 2022." The 100,000-strong programme has prepared thousands of young graduates for the workforce. "We have invested approximately GH2.2 billion so far," he stated.

"As they exit, the current cohort on the programme is encouraged to take advantage of the YouStart initiative and other existing programmes in our drive to build an entrepreneurial nation," Ken Ofori-Atta continued.

Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) trainees have expressed despair over unpaid salaries from the government. They claim that the government has not paid them their GH700 monthly allowance for the past nine months and are unsure when the debt will be cleared. In an interview with the Ghana Report, Frank Quansah, National Secretary of the Coalition of NABCO Trainees, bemoaned how unbearable life has been for them over the months, blaming the government.

"It's not easy; at times, we have to rely on our parents for survival or borrow money from friends and family." Throughout the day, I receive numerous calls from trainees complaining about unpaid allowances and the pain they are experiencing.

 NABCo was first introduced by the government in 2018 as part of their vision to provide jobs for the country's unemployed graduates. Around 100,000 graduates worked in seven economic sectors: education, health, local government, agriculture, entrepreneurship, revenue, and digitization. The programme was created to provide opportunities for graduates to gain employable skills in various sectors of the economy, allowing them to acquire relevant skills and knowledge to compete favourably in the job market.

During its implementation, the programme encountered difficulties. Some trainees threatened to strike earlier this year over unpaid allowances. Meanwhile, the Finance Minister has urged NABCo trainees who are leaving the programme to take advantage of the government's new initiative, YouStart, as well as other opportunities.

 But according to the Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto, has expressed concern about the government's decision to end the National Builders Corps (NaBCo) programme. On Monday, July 25, when presenting the 2022 Mid-Year Budget Review Statement in Parliament, Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta stated that the programme will end on September 1, 2022.

The Finance Minister went on to say, "The YouStart programme has been a critical intervention in advancing an entrepreneurial national ability to create jobs." This government's policy has helped dynamic young entrepreneurs gain access to training and funds to help them build their businesses and become a significant source of job opportunities for their peers.

THE JOAN GAMPER TROPHY PITS FC BARCELONA AGAINST PUMAS UNAM.

   The Joan Gamper Trophy, also known as the Joan Gamper Cup, was established in 1966, with the Blaugrana inviting Anderlecht from Belgium, Nantes from France, and Koln from Germany to the inaugural event. It had four participants until 1997 Barcelona and three other invitees and consisted of two semi-final ties, a third-place playoff, and a final. The Blaugrana won their first championship, defeating Cologne 3-1 in the final. Due to an increased fixture list, the Joan Gamper Trophy underwent changes in 1997, abandoning the previous format in favour of a one-off match style.
