The Acting CEO of the National Youth Authority cum Deputy National Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Osman Ayariga, has said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) under Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo never created 2.1 million jobs as it claimed to have done.
During a panel discussion on Metro TV's Good Morning Ghana on May 6, 2025, and monitored by GhanaWeb, Ayariga dismissed the Akufo-Addo government's job creation figures as inflated and misleading.
He argued that the flagship Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) initiative, often cited by the NPP as a key employment program, does not constitute real or sustainable jobs, adding that it failed to transition participants into permanent roles. "You never created 2.1 million jobs.
NABCO was no job.
