Amnesty For National Service Defaulters

The National Service Scheme (NSS) has set Friday, March 17, 2017 as the deadline for all eligible Ghanaians who failed to undertake their national service in previous years but now wish to do so, to register and do it.

In a statement issued by its Acting Executive Director, Ussif Mustapha, the NSS indicated that eligible applicants are required to personally submit their application letters to any of the regional secretariats of the Scheme.

It stated, “all applicants in the Greater Accra Regions should however, submit their application letters to the NSS head office in Accra.”

The statement indicated that “all applications letters must be accompanied by introductory or attestation letters, academic certificates or transcripts from accredited tertiary institutions attended, school ID cards and evidence of application for deferment of national service from previous years.”
