Ranking member on the Constitutional Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee, Inusah Fuseini has said government’s Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) programme is using the Nations insufficient allocation of scarce resources.
He called on the current government to rather focus its effort on creating opportunities for the private sector to create more jobs.
The Tamale Central legislator was contributing to a panel discussion on Joyfm’s current affairs programme Newsfile over the weekend and added that people are being trained and provided with knowledge and skills need for the job market in tertiary institutions.
Training provided by tertiary institutions frees government from investing the nations scare resources elsewhere rather than spending and wasting it on training graduates, the former Roads and Highways Minister said.
His comment follows the launch on May Day of the NABCO programme which is expected to employ some 100,000 people to assist the public sector.
The programme, according to President Akufo-Addo is expected to deliver jobs in prioritized areas defined under seven modules: Educate Ghana, Heal Ghana, Feed Ghana, Revenue Ghana, Digitize Ghana, Enterprise Ghana and Civic Ghana.
