Prospective National Service Personnel for the 2024/2025 service year have been asked to pay GH¢40 in order to start their enrolment processes.

The management of the National Service Scheme (NSS), in a statement announcing the release of registration PIN codes for the incoming personnel, indicated that the payment of GH¢40 is mandatory for the enrolment process to commence.

It directed that after the incoming personnel access their PIN codes on their portals, they should proceed to make the payment of GH¢40 to activate their enrolment.

"The Management of the National Service Scheme (NSS) has, as of today, June 19, 2024, released PIN Codes for a total of 133,476 final year Ghanaian students from all accredited universities in the country, as well as Ghanaian students who have completed their studies overseas, defaulters, and private applicants who have registered to enrol for their mandatory National Service for the 2024/2025 service year.

"All prospective National Service Personnel are therefore requested to log onto the Scheme's website at www.nss.gov.gh to access their PIN Codes with their respective school Index Numbers and Dates of Birth," part of the statement reads.

It added, "Prospective service personnel would then be required to proceed to any ADB Bank Ltd. branch with their PIN Codes and pay GH¢40.00, or may opt to use the MTN MoMo service to make a payment of GH¢41.00 to activate the enrolment process."

The management also stated that the incoming personnel have up to Friday, July 19, 2024, to complete their registration.

The scheme would raise over 5.3 million Ghana cedis if all applicants pay the said charge. Sentiments on social media are largely negative with current and former personnel expressing strong views over the administrative order.
