The National Service Authority (NSA) has officially released postings for 2024/2025 national service personnel.
The NSA indicated in a statement that about 106,223 qualified and registered personnel will be deployed for the service this year.
This includes the allocation of Ghanaian graduates from accredited universities, those who completed studies abroad, defaulters and private applicants who registered for their mandatory national service.
The authority mentioned that a mop-up exercise will follow for any remaining unassigned personnel; but in the meantime, all deployed personnel are required to follow the outlined validation and registration process to secure their placements.
The registration and validation process will commence at regional centres across the country from Thursday, September 12, 2024 and will close on Monday, September 30, 2024. The official start date for the service as announced is Tuesday, October 1, 2024.
The NSA has stressed that reposting is not allowed and encourages all service personnel to accept their postings as an essential contribution to national development. The authority extends its best wishes for a successful and fulfilling service year to all personnel.
However, the B&FT can confirm that some personnel are in the process of changing their placement with assistance of some staff members pf the NSA as has always been the norm.
While the NSA may be interested in correcting reposting emergence among other anomalies in the system, it is not enough to just state that reposting is not allowed without the necessary punitive measures to prevent such occurrences.
The outlined process includes:
- Checking of placement: Personnel should log onto the NSA’s website at www.nss.gov.gh to check their placement.
- Print appointment letter: After checking placement, print the appointment letter and take it to the place of posting for endorsement.
III. Book appointment for registration: Personnel should book an online appointment for the date and time of registration after endorsement.
Iv. Complete registration: With an endorsed appointment letter and a valid Ghana Card, personnel should proceed to the assigned Regional Validation and Registration Centre to complete the registration process.
