Management of the National Service Scheme (NSS) has called on Ghanaians to desist from paying any money to anyone in the name of special posting.
According to the National Service Scheme, some persons are posing as agents of the scheme on various social media platforms, extorting money from prospective national service personnel.
In a statement signed by the Corporate Affairs Director, Mr Armstrong Esaah; “We wish to inform every Ghanaian that posting of service personnel does not attract any fee.”
“Management, thus, cautions prospective service personnel to, whenever approached, report such persons to the security agencies to be dealt with under the laws of Ghana,” it added.
The NSS advices all culprits of “this criminal act” to desist from exploiting innocent national service prospects in their quest to serve the country or face the full rigors of the law when apprehended.
Established in 1973, the NSS is a government of Ghana programme under the Ministry of Education with a National Secretariat in Accra, and offices in all administrative regions and districts across the country.
Although it is a citizenry requirement for all Ghanaians who are eighteen years above, it is currently limited to, and mandatory for all Ghanaians graduating from tertiary educational institutions who are not less than eighteen years old.
