Workers to be recruited into 'Nation Builders Corps' to earn GH¢600 monthly   

Workers of the Nation Builders Corps will receive a minimum monthly salary of  GH¢600.

The amount is slightly above the allowances of National Service Personnel who earn GH¢559 monthly. 

The Minister of Employment and Labour Relations Ignatius Baffour Awuah, announced this in Parliament.

The Nation Builders Corps was announced as a government initiative in the 2018 budget to provide a hundred thousand jobs to graduates.

The focus of the initiative is to improve public service delivery in health, education, agriculture, sanitation and also drive revenue mobilization and collection. 

The programme has come under criticism from the Minority in Parliament and Policy think tank, Imani Africa.

They say it is a duplication of roles with the already existing Youth Employment Programme.
