The Military High Command and the Management of the National Service Authority (NSA) have begun to discuss the implementation of the National Service Emergency Response Readiness Programme (NSERRP), a new program designed to provide National Service Personnel (NSPs) with fundamental military training.
The gathering, which took place on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, is consistent with President John Dramani Mahama’s goal of fostering among Ghanaian graduates a sense of discipline, patriotism, and physical health.
The program was initially revealed by the President on Thursday, February 27, 2025, during his first State of the Nation Address to Parliament.
NSA Director-General Felix Gyamfi stressed the value of the training program in creating a more resilient and patriotic youth population during his remarks at the meeting.
“The implementation of this military training is a positive step that everyone should support as one of the signs for reorienting the nation, especially the young people,” he stated.
Gyamfi reaffirmed that as part of their service experience, all national service personnel will participate in orientation and basic military exercises with the goal of promoting a sense of national growth.
The Military High Command’s representative, Brigadier General Amoah-Boakye, promised the Ghana Armed Forces’ backing for the initiative.
When the initiative formally launches, he promised the Authority that they will be prepared to provide the required training.
Composite basic military drills will be given to individuals for a maximum of two months; training is anticipated to start on August 3, 2025.
