NABCO Allowance For December 2021 Paid
Government has released one out of the nine months’ arrears owed the Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) trainees. This was confirmed by official Facebook page of NABCO trainees in Ghana.
This comes weeks after the trainees staged a series of pickets to express their displeasure.
The first Nabco trainees had contracts that expired in October 2021, but the government asked them to stay until it (government) could pay their overdue allowances and find them a job.
According to some Twitter users, life has been unbearable, a development they say has affected their standards of living and family welfare.

Some also blamed the government for abandoning them, adding that they have been “perishing in extreme hunger and deprivation. It could be recalled in February this year that the trainees embarked on a demonstration to compel the government to address their grievances
The Deputy Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, once urged calm among the personnel and assured them that government is taking steps to resolve the issue.
“If they have been on the programme for three years, two or a year, and they have been paid all these years with five months outstanding; then there is an issue, have patience.”
“I believe the government has heard them, and if we are not talking about a year or six months allowance and it is five, obviously it will be worked on, and you will be paid,” he assured.
