The National Service Authority’s (NSA) recently sworn-in governing board has been charged with reforming the organization and guiding its expansion in accordance with national interests.
George Opare Addo, the Minister for Youth Development and Empowerment, urged the board members to carry out their responsibilities with honesty and dedication during the swearing-in event, pointing out that President John Dramani Mahama has high standards for their leadership.
“As new board members, I entrust you with the significant responsibility of reshaping the Authority and guiding its strategic growth to the level envisioned by the President, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama,” the Minister said.
“This board carries high expectations, and I am confident that you will rise to the occasion.”
The board was also tasked by Mr. Opare Addo with resolving ongoing administrative issues, specifically the problem of ghost names on the Authority’s payroll.
The eradication of almost 2,000 ghost names was the result of recent efforts by the NSA, which he praised as a positive step in guaranteeing financial accountability.
Through youth involvement and workforce readiness, the National Service Scheme plays a vital role in national development, and the new board is anticipated to spearhead reforms aimed at improving the program’s effectiveness, transparency, and relevance.
Okai Mintah is the chair of the board.
