In a bold solo protest, Deborah Enam Sogbey, a former Nation Builders Corps (NABCO) beneficiary, took to the streets to demand justice for herself and her fellow trainees.
Dressed in red, she marched from Anloga Junction to the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council, determined to hand over a petition to the government.
Deborah’s plight is dire. Years after her contract was terminated, she’s still waiting for her nine months arrears. Without income, she’s struggling to survive, relying on friends for meager handouts. Her situation is far from unique – many NABCO trainees have suffered similar fate, with some even losing their lives due to frustration and despair.
Deborah’s protest is a cry for help, a plea to the government to honor its promises. She’s speaking out against the exploitation and discrimination she’s faced, including being denied jobs due to her refusal to succumb to sexual advances from powerful men. Her message is clear: the government must pay their arrears and provide better job opportunities, as Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia had promised.
Deborah’s courage has sparked hope among her fellow trainees, and her solo protest may be the catalyst for change they’ve been waiting for. Will her actions finally prompt the government to take action and alleviate the suffering of NABCO beneficiaries? Only time will tell.
