The trainees of the Coalition of Nation Builders Corps (NaBCo) have urged Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to refund their unpaid allowances as soon as possible.
NaBCo trainees have been pursuing the government for months on end for unpaid balances, even after the program is over.
The Coalition conveyed their dissatisfaction and displeasure with Dr. Bawumia’s prolonged silence regarding his commitment in a statement released on Monday, June 24, 2024.
In the Volta Region on June 2, 2024, Dr. Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), gave former NaBCo trainees the assurance that their nine-month arrears would be settled during his campaign tour.
Weeks have gone by with no progress, though, and the trainees are already despondent and struggling financially.
The trainees are calling for the Vice President to fulfill his promise and release the outstanding arrears without further delay.
They stressed that their negligence in addressing their payment is a disservice to their dedication and hard work.
The trainees emphasized the need for immediate action, stating that words alone are insufficient.
Previously, Nana Akomea, Managing Director of the State Transport Corporation (STC) and Deputy Chairperson of Dr. Bawumia’s Campaign Team appealed to the government to promptly pay the arrears owed to NaBCo members.
Akomea highlighted the embarrassment caused by the situation and labeled it a significant stigma that must be resolved immediately.
