Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia says he will scrap national service for all Ghanaians if elected President during the December polls.

National Service is mandatory as every graduate is obliged to serve the nation for 2 years and during national service, the individual is posted to any Region to undertake his or her service.

Dr. Bawumia, providing his bold solutions to fix Ghana, noted during his address today at UPSA-Ghana, that his government will make national service a choice for every student.

"National Service will no longer be mandatory and students will have the option to decide whether to do national service or not. This will also encourage companies to go to the campuses to recruit annually", he emphasized.

This, he believes, is one of the key tools to accelerate the development of Ghana.

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia outlined his vision for the nation under the theme “Ghana’s Next Chapter: Selfless Leadership and Bold Solutions for the Future” and called on Ghanaians to vote for him to become the next President.
