A member of the National Communication’s Team of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has said that, beneficiaries of the Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) program are in a better position with their names part of a list of persons to be paid arrears by government than being completely unemployed with no income at all.
According to him the unemployment situation is better under the current government than it was under their predecessor’s – the John Mahama-led administration and the evidence, according to him, is in the growth of the NABCO policy.
His comment comes on the back of the current economic situation the country is facing in recent times.

“Today, at least the NABCO beneficiary is on a certain list, government is owing him for four months when I have someone owing, I am better off than being in so much poverty that I have not even had anything to do for someone to owe me,” he added.
