President Nana Akufo-Addo launched the Nation Builders’ scheme last Tuesday as an alternative job creation opportunity for the country’s jobless graduates. Addressing the issue on the Citi Breakfast Show on Wednesday, a Deputy Minister for Employment and Labour Relations, Bright Wereko-Brobbey, advised the prospective NABCO beneficiaries to pay their social security contributions and taxes when they are recruited. On the taxes, Wereko-Brobbey was unable to state whether it would be deducted from the GHc700 stipend or from elsewhere.
