The former Deputy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), Ibrahim Bashiru, has said the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has failed to post nurses.

According to him, the NDC administration led by President Mahama has played with nurses’ emotions by refusing to post them.

In a recent interview, he argued that if the economy were indeed doing well, as the NDC government has claimed, it would have employed nurses and students, as it promised.

“Go to the Universities and tell the students today who can not afford to pay their school fees that the economy is good. Indeed, if the economy is good when you were playing with the emotions and telling them you are going to give them automatic postings, they are still sitting at home,” he stated.

He further added that the NDC promised to expand the economy by initiating “Formula 133” to employ young people, claiming that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) could not do so during its tenure.

However, he said the NDC has failed to deliver on similar measures. He noted that this government has even dismissed people who were already employed.

Mr Bashiru also claimed that all the NDC’s promises have fallen short, including its stress-free commitment to students.

He said students were required to pay their fees upfront before reimbursement, despite the promise that this would be absorbed by the government.

He added that the 3.2% inflation rate has not improved the lives of ordinary citizens, who continue to suffer, particularly farmers, marketers, and others.

“I don't have a problem with the inflation being 3.2, but the question is does it have an impact on the ordinary citizens? The students that you deceived them that there were going to be stress free and that when you get admission government will absorb the fees was it not the promise?

“And I put it to you that this government not even a single student were they able to do that instead the students themselves paid but was not the promise,” he said during an interview on GHone Tv.
