According to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, most of the participants in the Nation Builders Corps (NABCo) Grow Food module have secured employment as Agric Extension Officers at the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA).
He said that many beneficiaries of the now-defunct NABCO received an education that allowed them to blend in wherever.
At a roundtable conversation in Accra on Wednesday, October 18, the President discussed the need of encouraging young people to pursue careers in agriculture.
He underlined that many young people have benefitted from the effort and that the myth that it did not help anybody should be debunked.

“The NABCO, all those who are in the Grow food module, the overwhelming majority of them are now extension officers within the Ministry of Food and Agriculture.”
“And therefore the idea that these human resource is being ignored is inaccurate,” he continued.
Beneficiaries persisted in applying pressure on the government to pay their allowances, claiming they had been overdue for almost ten months, after the NABCo scheme was terminated.
