The National Service Secretariat (NSS) has set up an Enforcement Department to undertake a nationwide verification exercise to fish out any eligible Ghanaian who forfeited his or her mandatory National Service but has managed to secure employment.
The exercise is meant to also identify all organizations that have violated the National Service law, Act 426 of 1980 by offering employment to citizens who evaded the National Service.
Anyone, whether employee or employer found out through the enforcement exercise to have breached the Act shall then be subjected to the full rigours of the law to ensure strict compliance henceforth.
The Ashanti Regional Director of the National Service Scheme, Alex Opoku Mensah, made this known in an interview with GBC’s Radio Ghana.
