Presby moderator calls of extension of NABCo, review of free SHS

The Presbyterian Church of Ghana is appealing to the government to consider extending the Nation Builders Corp (NABCo) programme.

The policy was introduced in 2017 by the government to deal with the high unemployment situation.

It was initially supposed to run for three years, but was extended for an additional year.

The Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta announced in the 2022 Budget that the job creation policy will end on September 1.

“We plead that any arrears and allowances owed the beneficiaries are paid to help improve their circumstances”.

The Moderator of the Presbyterian Church also called for a review of the Free Senior High School Policy to enable parents capable of paying the fees of their wards to do so.

”The Presbyterian Church of Ghana is of the strong opinion that the state can churn out some of these cost for parents who are capable of paying to do so. There are several parents who are capable to fund their ward’s studies.”
