The National Service Authority (NSA) has announced that it is currently unable to deploy graduates from 13 tertiary institutions for national service after the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) informed the Authority that the institutions do not currently have accredited status. The Authority said the verification was prompted by requests from tertiary institutions seeking the deployment of their graduating students for national service. The development affects prospective National Service Personnel (NSPs) whose names have been submitted for deployment through the institutions concerned. The NSA said graduates from the affected institutions may be considered for national service deployment once their respective institutions resolve their accreditation issues with GTEC. Despite the immediate inability to deploy the affected graduates, the NSA said it remains committed to ensuring that eligible graduates are given the opportunity to undertake national service.
