NSS Declares August As Annual Leave Month

The management of the National Service Scheme (NSS) has declared the month of August as the annual leave month for all 2015/2016 National Service personnel prior to the official end of the service.

A statement issued in Accra and signed by Dr. Michael Kpessa-Whyte, acting Executive Director of NSS said, notwithstanding the official end of the service year in August, the management and the board had offered an “optional extension of six months to service personnel still at duty post who wish to be redeployed for additional duties in the extension period.”

It said only current service personnel who opt for the extension and apply online at NSS website would be considered for the redeployment.

The statement notes that redeployment of personnel for the purposes of the extension would mainly be to public sector user agencies including educational institutions especially schools, the National Commission for Civic Education, Electoral Commission, and various units and departments within the district assemblies across the country.

It urged personnel who were willing to gain additional work experience through service by working with different user agencies to visit the schemes website and apply before Friday, August 19.
