Unemployed Nurses and Midwives across Ghana have threatened a ”million man walk” in Accra particularly through the Jubilee House to protest the inability of government to employ them, months after completing school.
The nurses have held multiple protests and acts on the matter with the most recent by their counterparts in Kumasi Wednesday.
The protestors who were all wearing red head and arm bands, held placards with various inscriptions, which depicted their frustrations, converged at the Jubilee Park from where they marched through the principal streets and later picketed at the forecourt of the Regional Coordinating Council
Dozens of the chanting nurses hit the streets of some of the country’s regional capitals in protest over government’s failure to employ them after school.
Speaking for the more than 26,000 Unemployed Nurses and Midwives, Foster Koku said government has three weeks to respond to their grievances or face the million man walk.
