John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has pledged to continue ongoing hospital projects if he is elected president in the upcoming December 7 general elections.
The NDC’s flagbearer said he will ensure that those facilities are completed to help create employment opportunities for the recruitment of graduate nurses.
“We are going to continue all the hospitals that are being built so that we can employ as many of you as possible. And so, as I have explained to your patron, I will create a proper programme and come and speak to you. But for now, I said I cannot pass you by. I wish you very well. Make sure that you keep your voting cards well on 7th December, vote for a change and vote for the 24-hour economy.”
Speaking to students of the Ntotronso Nursing and Midwifery College in the Ahafo region, Mahama also reiterated the party’s promise to waive academic user fees for first-year university students.
Mahama further promised to restore automatic recruitment for nursing graduates.
“I know all the problems you have with your allowances and everything and we are going to come and make things better for you. We are going to come and restore automatic posting so that when you come out of school, you can get a job as quickly as possible.”
“And your younger brothers and sisters who are going to come after you, when they come to the first year, they are not going to pay any school fees.”
