Service personnel to pay GHC40 for registration

The National Service Scheme (NSS) says as part of changes in the registration procedure, recruitment and deployment for the 2015/2016 service year, all prospective national service personnel would now be required to undergo pre-registration payment process in accordance with the scheme’s realignment and new posting schedule.

A statement issued in Accra Wednesday and signed by the acting Executive Director, Dr. Michael Kpessa-Whyte says all prospective national service personnel would be required to complete payment of their pre-registration fee of forty Ghana cedi (GH¢40.00) at any branch of the Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) across the country, using their uniquely assigned pin codes.

The statement further added that it is only after the payment of the pre-registration fee that prospective national service personnel can have access to the Scheme’s on-line registration platform to register to be deployed for 2015/2016 national service.

The Public Relations Officer of NSS Andrew Entsiwah Armbrose in an interview with Adom news noted that the move is to improve upon the old system which was not helping.

He said the new directive is to help facilitate the activities of the NSS in posting service personnel for 2015/2016.

He further added that GHC20.00 out of the GHC40.00 is for registering, GHC10.00 for National Service Personnel Association (NASPA) dues and the other GHC10.00 for their ID cards.

Entsiwah Armbrose indicated that the directive will make it easier for the service personnel. He revealed that this year’s posting will be ready by May ending and the posting will be released by early June.

He therefore urged all prospective national service personnel to take note of this new registration procedure and comply accordingly.
