Former President John Dramani Mahama has made a bold promise to nursing trainees in Ghana. Speaking at the Ntotronso Nursing and Midwifery College in the Ahafo Region, Mahama vowed to reinstate automatic recruitment for nursing trainees if he’s elected president again in 2024 ¹. This move aims to address the concerns of nursing trainees who face uncertainty after completing their education.
Mahama acknowledged the challenges nursing trainees face, including issues with their allowances. He assured them that his government would review the current allowance system to make things better for them.
One of the key promises Mahama made was to restore automatic posting for nursing trainees. This means that once they complete their education, they’ll have a guaranteed job waiting for them.
But that’s not all. Mahama also reiterated the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) commitment to waiving academic user fees for first-year university students. This will make higher education more accessible to young Ghanaians.
Mahama emphasized that his government would prioritize the construction of ongoing hospital projects. This will create employment opportunities for nursing graduates, ensuring they can put their skills to use.
The former president urged the students to vote for the NDC in the upcoming December 7 elections. He encouraged them to keep their voting cards safe and vote for a change.
Mahama’s promises have generated excitement among nursing trainees, who see this as a chance to secure their future.
The NDC flagbearer’s visit to the Ntotronso Nursing and Midwifery College was part of his campaign to connect with voters. Mahama’s commitment to improving healthcare and education aligns with the NDC’s vision for Ghana.
As the 2024 elections approach, Mahama’s promises will likely resonate with many Ghanaians seeking positive change.
