The Director-General of the National Service Authority, Felix Gyamfi, has announced that the official attire for the military training programme as part of the National Service assignment this year is ready.
Designed to meet military training standards, the uniform includes a camo green cap, shirts, trousers, and sturdy boots.
On August 3, approximately 10,000 service personnel will report to military barracks nationwide for a six-week training programme.
Mr Gyamfi urged personnel to prepare adequately for the demanding training, emphasizing the importance of both physical and mental readiness.
“We want all service personnel to recognize that their military engagement is approaching and should prepare accordingly. The six-week training will require discipline and resilience. We are working closely with the Ghana Armed Forces on key arrangements, including meals and medical screenings, to ensure all participants are fit for the program,” he stated in an interview on May 15, 2025.
Meanwhile, Mr Gyamfi disclosed that ongoing investigations have led to the removal of 2,000 ghost names from the NSS payroll, saving the country approximately GHC1.43 million monthly.
He made this statement while responding to reports of corruption within the NSS, including the recent interdiction of two District Managers in the Eastern Region who fraudulently processed allowances for 29 individuals on study leave or full-time employment, misrepresenting them as regular service personnel.
