NSS withdraws December 2016 recruits

The Management of the National Service Scheme (NSS) has, on the advice of the Minister of Education, withdrawn the National Service staff recruitment which was done in December, last year with immediate effect.

This was contained in a statement signed by the acting Executive Director of the National Service Scheme Ussif Mustapha.

The statement said the decision was informed by a thorough consideration of violations of due process prior to the recruitment. These included petitions to the Public Services Commission, (PSC), against the recruitment process  upon which the PSC in a letter dated 16th November, 2016 advised the former acting Executive Director to halt the recruitment process until the matter was properly resolved. 

This was however ignored and appointment letters were issued to some persons on 15th December, 2016.  

Management therefore wishes to advise persons affected by this decision to look forward to a new opportunity to have the staff recruitment properly carried out.  

Deputy Chief Executive of the National Service Scheme, Nana Boakye spoke with Radio Ghana.
