The National Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammi Awuku, has assured that the nurses who are currently picketing at the premises of the health ministry will be posted soon.
According to him, President Akufo Addo has nurses at heart and therefore will never disappoint them.

“I’m pleading with the nurses who are picketing at the ministry to go back home because they will be posted very soon. It’s just a matter of time. It’s important they know that Nana Addo feels their pain and will not disappoint them”, he said.

Sammi Awuku was speaking on Asempa FM’s late afternoon programme, Ekosii Sen Tuesday.
Mr Awuku’s comment comes after scores of the unposted nurses on Tuesday morning, marched to the Ministry of Health demanding their immediate postings and clearance by the finance ministry.
They were seen chanting “2020 we go show Nana” to demonstrate their displeasure with the delays in their postings by government.
The nurses who have been protesting for some time now were, last night, dispersed by the Police when they picketed at the premises of the Ministry.

Deputy Minister for Health, Tina Mensah has attributed government’s inability to clear the nurses for their postings to lack of funds.
The nurses who completed their studies in 2016 say they have held several meetings with the Minister for health with a view that their concerns will be addressed but to no avail.
Mr Awuku who doubles as the Board Chairman of the Youth Employment Agency, YEA, says measures are being put in place to get the nurses posted to various health posts across the country.
