Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong says the Nation Builder Corps (NaBco) initiative implemented by the government to address the issue of youth unemployment in Ghana amounts to a waste of scarce resources.
He asserts that the government ought to have channeled the resources spent on the NaBco programme to promote industrialization and establish factories.
This, he says, would have solved the issue of youth unemployment in the country far better than the NaBco programme.
“For the Government to pick the youth and place them in offices where they were doing nothing and being paid Ghc700 is worrying.
“Government could have used the money to build industries which could have employed 20,000 permanent workers to reduce the number of unemployed youth,” he said.
The NaBco programme is a government initiative to address graduate unemployment to solve social problems.
It was also aimed at solving public service delivery in health, education, agriculture, technology, governance and drive revenue mobilization and collection.
The programme was run for three years and has ended leaving personnel unemployed.
