Kweku Ohene-Gyan, the NSS's deputy executive director in charge of operations, has advised qualified Ghanaian final-year students and aspiring national service volunteers to have an open and optimistic outlook on their national service commitments.
Despite the fact that national service is required and qualified Ghanaian final-year students are encouraged to accept posts anywhere in the nation to complete their service, he said it's crucial for them to view their postings as a positive call to duty and not as a punishment.
At the University of Ghana, Legon, Mr. Ohene-Gyan was addressing qualified final-year students for pre-service on-campus orientation.
The goals of these orientation sessions were to position and equip potential national service members for their deployment to various sections of the country as a means of expressing their nationalism and voluntarism and contributing to their motherland's progress.

Therefore, as they prepared to give their fair share to the creation of a better future for the nation, he advised the students to cast aside any preconceived preconceptions about national service and instead focus on its benefits.
It's crucial to first establish an open and optimistic mentality towards accepting your postings to where your skills are needed for the benefit of mother Ghana, he said, adding that he knows some of you may have some misgivings regarding your placements or posts for your national duty.
Director of Corporate Affairs in the Acting Capacity of Ambrose Entsiwah Jr., the Scheme, who guided the students through the orientation process, emphasised the significance of the prospective service members avoiding social media platforms that were used by some unscrupulous and faceless individuals to entice unwary prospective national service persons to pay various amounts of money for what they termed "special postings."
He made it clear that national service posts were not for sale and that the only permitted payment from qualified final-year students was the GH40.00 pre-registration fee, which allowed a potential service member to obtain their PIN code online.
The pupils were instructed by Mr. Entsiwah Jr. to enter their national duty with the desire to proudly serve their country and without any obstacles or distractions.
In a welcoming address, the University of Ghana's Director of Academic Affairs, Lydia Anowa Nyako-Danquah, advised the students to view their national service obligations to the state as their contributions to constructing a better Ghana.
Prepare
She urged the students to be open-minded and accept postings in situations that would even be unfamiliar to them since they might present them with possibilities in a variety of ways.
She claimed that, throughout the years, national service had developed into a way for many young people to discover their abilities and finally find employment.
She consequently recommended that the students take the orientation seriously and look for clarification on any questions they had.
The pupils' queries were all addressed by Mr. Entsiwah Jr., who also dispelled their worries about a number of other problems that troubled them.
