The National Service Authority (NSA) has announced that 106,223 university grads will be serving during the 2024/2025 school year.
If there are any remaining unassigned personnel, the Authority states that a second mop-up exercise will be organised.
In a statement signed and released on Friday, Osei Assibey Antwi, Director-General of the National Security Agency (NSA), emphasised that the deployed personnel included the 2024 cohort of Ghanaian graduates from all recognized colleges in the nation.
“Ghanaians who have completed studies abroad, defaulters, and private applicants who registered for their national service,” he said.
All deployed service personnel are expected to undergo the validation and registration process, according to Mr. Antwi.
“A. Check Placement: Log onto the Authority’s website at www.nss.gov.gh to check for placement. B. Print Appointment Letter: Print the appointment letter and proceed to the place of posting for endorsement of the appointment letter.”
“C. Book Appointment for Registration: Book an appointment online for the date and time for registration after the endorsement. D. Complete Registration: Proceed to the assigned Regional Validation and Registration Centre with an endorsed appointment letter and a valid Ghana Card to complete the process,” he stated.
According to Mr. Antwi, checks and registration at all of the country’s regional centers will start on Thursday, September 12, 2024, and end on Monday, September 30, 2024.
“The 2024/2025 National Service begins on Tuesday, October 1, 2024. The Authority further reminds all deployed personnel that reposting is not permitted and urges all national service personnel to embrace their postings as a vital part of their responsibilities and contributions to national development.”
“Management extends its best wishes to all service personnel for a successful and fulfilling service year,” he stated
