President Nana Akufo-Addo has raised concerns about the underutilisation of national service personnel within government institutions, stressing the importance of a more effective deployment strategy to maximize their contributions.
Speaking at the launch of the National Service Policy Document on Monday, April 15, 2024, the President highlighted the government's investment in the National Service Scheme and its expectation of tangible returns in terms of service delivery and professional development.
In his address, President Akufo-Addo outlined plans to regulate deployment processes and enhance learning opportunities during national service, aiming to optimize the impact of service personnel across various sectors.
He underscored the significance of initiatives outlined in the policy document, which aims to elevate the National Service Scheme beyond mere mobilisation and deployment to become a world-class institution focused on shaping service personnel for success in their professional careers.
According to the President, the comprehensive National Service Policy represents a paradigm shift, providing a structured framework for the development of service personnel and preparing them for the transition from school to the workforce.
President Akufo-Addo emphasised that the policy document offers clear direction for the scheme's evolution, aligning it with the government's broader agenda to ensure that service personnel are adequately equipped to contribute meaningfully to national development.
