The NPP Tamale Central PC, who doubles as the CEO of the Nation Builders’ Corp (NABCO), said the vision of the project is to provide decent jobs that are suitable and sustainable for the development of the people of Tamale Central Constituency, especially women traders.

“It is long overdue for such a fund in the constituency considering it being an urban area with most of the constituents engaged in small to medium scale businesses.
