John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has made a commitment to reinstate automatic job placement for nursing trainees if he is elected into office. Additionally, he has promised to review the existing allowance system for nursing students to better address their concerns.

While addressing students of the Ntotronso Nursing and Midwifery College in the Ahafo Region, Mahama emphasized the NDC’s dedication to improving the educational experience for future students by eliminating academic user fees for first-year university students.

“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,” he assured the students.

He added, “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.”

Mahama also reaffirmed his intention to complete ongoing hospital construction projects, which he believes will create additional employment opportunities for nursing graduates. He urged the students to support the NDC in the upcoming elections on December 7.

“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,” he concluded.
