NABCO Trainees have called on Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), to fulfill his promise by settling their outstanding arrears.
During his campaign in the Volta Region on June 2, 2024, Dr. Bawumia pledged to pay the trainees’ nine-month arrears. This commitment has yet to be fulfilled, prompting the group to demand action.
The Coalition of NABCO Trainees issued a statement on Monday, June 24, expressing their disappointment and frustration over Dr. Bawumia’s silence on his promise, which has spanned several weeks.
“On June 2, 2024, the Vice President and Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, made a significant promise to vulnerable former NABCO Trainees during his campaign tour in the Volta Region, committing to pay the trainees’ nine-month arrears. However, weeks have passed without action, and silence has followed. As a result, vulnerable trainees in a critically weakened condition are demanding the fulfillment of the Vice President’s promise.”
The statement continues: “Mr. Vice President and flagbearer, we urge you to honor your promise and release our outstanding arrears without further delay. We demand the immediate payment of our outstanding arrears. Your negligence is a slap in the face to our dedication and hard work. It is time for action, not just words. Pay us what you owe as promised.”
