Wa, March 11, GNA - Mr. George Tetteh Wayoe, the Wa Municipal President of the National Service Personnel Association, (NASPA) has called for the formation of a more formidable, powerful and unified national front to fight for the rights of service personnel. Such a front, he noted, can be more vibrant and powerful than any of the student associations in the country. The President said this, on Wednesday, during the swearing in of the Wa Municipal NASPA Executives, at Wa, in the Upper West Region. He pointed out that Service Personnel served as a sound human resource base and needed to be well organized and their needs attended to by the government to make national service very attractive to students.

He said if National Service Personnel agitate for education, affordable housing, quality drinking water as well as health facilities at their various communities it would be in the national interest and not just the interest of the service personnel alone. This is because they would leave such facilities behind for the communities at the end of their service.

He lauded the decision by the Regional Director of the National Service Secretariat, Mr. Charles Ayoung, to revive NASPA and pledged their support in that direction.

He called on Service Personnel in other regions to organise themselves well for the national executive election in Kumasi. Mr. Isaiah Oliver Tambo, the Wa Municipal Director of the National Service, swore in the nine-member executive and urged them to be more proactive in order to move the association forward. 11 March 10
