Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is the Vice President of Ghana
The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has assured trainee nurses that the government is working to prevent delays in the payment of their allowances.
Addressing students of LEKMA Nursing Training College in Accra while campaigning at Ledzokuku in Accra, he noted that while delays may occur, they are preferable to the cancellation of the allowances.
In a video posted on X by Channel One TV on Thursday, September 12, 2024, he stated that he is hopeful the government will eradicate the issue of delayed payment of allowances for trainee nurses in the country.
"One of the things I was clear about in the 2020 elections. I was very adamant, and our party was adamant that we will restore the nursing training allowances, they cancelled. And we have restored the nursing training allowances. There may be delays, but allowances delayed are better than allowances cancelled.
"I am working with the Ministry of Finance on a scheme or way to make sure we don't have delays. I'm hoping that we can eliminate these issues of delays very soon for all of you," he noted.
