NABCo PERSONNEL TO BE PAID THIS MONTH-KSI COORDINATOR

-

The Ashanti Regional Coordinating Director of the Nation Builders Corps, NABCO, Dennis Kwakwah, has assured employees of NABCO that their Allowance for January this year is ready for payment. However, management wants to clean the payroll of all ineligible staff to ensure that the available funds are not paid to wrong people, especially those already working in other organizations. 

Mr. Kwakwah, disclosed that an appreciable number of NABCO personnel are earning incomes from the Forestry Commission, Youth Enterprise Agency and other institutions and could be drawing double stipend if they are retained on NADCO, a practice which is illegal. 

Mr. Kwakwah made this known at a forum in Kumasi organised for NABCO personnel the Kumasi Metro. He explained that the grace period for all NABCO personnel to update their informational and uploaded their signed assumption letters will ends of this week after which anyone who does not meet the deadline will be dismissed from the scheme. He assured the trainees who have not been placed to an organisation to exercise patience as they will get their postings by the end of this week. 

The Metro NABCO Coordinator mentioned the lack of an office accommodation as a major operational challenge to the programme. 

The Deputy Ashanti Regional Minister, Madam Elizabeth Agyemang, said the regional coordinating Council is aware of the plight of the trainees and gave an assurance of her unflinching support to facilitate the payment of the January and February stipends within the shortest possible time.

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency whic...

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously milit...
