President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has officially unveiled the National Service Authority (NSA).
The official unveiling has paved the way to empower its mandate to legally institute policies and programs.
This is in line with the passage of the National Service Authority Bill 2024 in July to mobilise service personnel to areas of national interest.
The NSA will now have the capacity to enter into contractual agreements, an act the institution registered as a challenge, before its debut.
Speaking at the launch on Friday, October 18, 2024, the President commended the contributions of the institution to national development and its role in saving the country 3 billion Ghana cedis annually.
“It also saves the country some GHC3 billion annually in wage cost. This transformation of the Scheme into the National Service Authority equips it to take on an even more expansive role in nation-building.
“This will ensure that the Authority will not only mobilise, and deploy service personnel, but will also equip them with employable skills, positioning them for greater success in their post-service lives.
“I have every confidence that in the next administration, led, by Insha, our Vice President and the NPP Presidential candidate Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, will build on this foundation to ensure that the authority continues to be the driving force for the development of our youth”
