The (NDC) MP for Hohoe Constituency, Thomas Worlanyo Tsekpo, has accused the erstwhile (NPP) government of collapsing the Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) program, claiming it originated from an NDC initiative.
Speaking during a debate on President 's State of the Nation Address on Friday, March 7, 2025, Worlanyo Tsekpo questioned the NPP's job creation credentials, alleging a lack of original ideas and commitment.
He referenced a pre-2016 NDC program under the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) called Paid Internship, designed as a buffer for National Service personnel, which he claimed the NPP adopted when it took office in 2017, with 10,000 youth who were prepared for the program laid off. "A letter came from the Office of the Vice President to YEA for all those youth who were employed to be withdrawn… the current general secretary of the was the CEO of YEA.
You can find out from him, they terminated the appointments of over 10,000 youth who were employed and what they did was to create NABCO," he stated.
