Accra, Oct. 15, GNA
– Mr Moses Anim, Member of Parliament for Trobu Constituency, has advised
Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) personnel in the Greater Accra Region to exhibit
good attitude towards work at their various places of service.
Mr Anim gave the
advice at the one year anniversary durbar of the Greater Accra Regional NABCO
held at the Accra City Hall on Monday, October 14, 2019.
He advised NABCO
personnel in the Greater Accra Region to adopt good attitude to work, by being
punctual and obeying authorities at their workplaces.
He also encouraged
personnel to give off their best so that they became favourites to be employed
at their workplaces whenever there was an employment opportunity.
Mr Moses Anim, the
Deputy Majority Chief Whip of Parliament, assured personnel that their concerns
and conditions of service as presented by their leadership to Parliament were
being considered.
“Parliament is
considering your challenges and conditions of service as presented to us by
your leadership, and I can assure you that it is being addressed,” he said.
The Member of
Parliament, who was a guest of honour at the event, expressed his delight at
the NABCO initiative introduced by the government, and called on the public to
support the initiative as a means of curbing graduate unemployment in the
country.
On his part, Alhaji
Mohammed Baba Garrison, the Greater Accra Regional Chairman of NABCO, congratulated
personnel and leadership of the corps for committing to the cause of the
initiative since its implementation a year ago.
He encouraged
personnel to continually be of good behaviour at their workplaces, and always
abide by the core principles of the Nation Builders Corps, which are knowledge,
punctuality and integrity.
He, however noted,
that out of the 100,000 graduates the NABCO had employed nationwide, the
Greater Accra Region alone had absorbed 31,000.
He expressed the
hope that the initiative would continually grow bigger and better in the
ensuing years.
Madam Anastasia
Zanoo, Greater Accra Regional National Service Scheme (NSS) Director, said
NABCO and NSS provided support to the development efforts of both the public
and private sector.
She wished NABCO
well in its ensuing years, and expressed delight that it would continue to play
its key role in youth capacity development and curbing graduate unemployment.
The event brought
together NABCO leadership and personnel in the Greater Accra Region, as well as
representatives from sister agencies such as the National Service Scheme and
the Youth Employment Agency.
The Nation Builders
Corps (NABCO) programme is a government initiative to address graduate
unemployment and solve social problems.
The focus of the
initiative is to enhance public service delivery in health, education,
agriculture, technology, governance and drive revenue mobilization and
collection.
Under the
initiative, NABCO trainees are trained and equipped with the necessary work
capacity and deployed around the country.
