The National Service Scheme (NSS) has issued a final warning to prospective national service personnel, stating that its registration portal will be permanently closed by Friday, even as 50% of deployed personnel have yet to report.
This stern warning was delivered by Fuseini Donkor, Deputy Director-General of NSS in charge of Operations, during an interview on Joy News’ AM Show. He expressed deep concern over the low turnout, despite several reminders.
> “By Friday, we are closing the system,” Mr. Donkor emphasized.
> “Today is Wednesday, and 50% of them have not reported. Our system can accommodate even a million, but they must show up and complete the process.”
According to him, the delay is not due to technical limitations but rather the growing trend of intentional delays and unofficial attempts to alter postings, often with monetary influence.
He lamented that many regional NSS offices remain underutilized, as personnel believe they can bypass the system later through unofficial means.
“The frustration they are giving to the system is becoming too much,” he said.
“Some think, ‘I will bring money, I will change it for you.’ But let me make this clear by Friday, we are locking the system. No exceptions.”
The NSS leadership has reaffirmed its commitment to fairness, transparency, and efficiency and urged all assigned personnel to report and register immediately. Further official updates are expected in the coming days.
