General News of Monday, 7 May 2018Source: Starrfmonline.comGovernment does not owe you jobs – Kofi Bentil to nursesKofi Bentil, vice president of IMANI AfricaThe vice president of IMANI Africa, Kofi Bentil, has said government does not have any responsibility to find the teeming unemployed graduate nurses across the country jobs. Mr. Bentil observed that if the nurses feel they are worth more than ¢700, they should go find their own jobs. “The problem with nurses and I think teachers also in Ghana is that government assumes the responsibility of finding them jobs,” he said. “I don’t think government has any responsibility to find you a job if you finish nursing school and you are a nurse,” he said on Newsfile over the weekend. Government, according to him, should diverse itself of “this responsibility that we have to find nurses a job.”Meanwhile, more than 40,000 graduates have applied for placement under NaBCo programme as nurses across the country today – Monday, May 7, 2018, are demonstrating to express their displeasure over plans to get them enrolled on it.
