The Management of the National Service Authority (NSA) has commenced discussions with the Military High Command to implement the National Service Emergency Response Readiness Programme (NSERRP), a new initiative designed to provide National Service Personnel (NSPs) with basic military training.
This meeting, held on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, aligns with President John Dramani Mahama’s commitment to fostering discipline, nationalism, and physical fitness among Ghanaian graduates. The initiative was first announced during the President’s maiden State of the Nation Address to Parliament on February 27, 2025.
NSA Director-General Felix Gyamfi emphasized the significance of the training program in nurturing a more resilient and patriotic youth population. “The introduction of this military training is a step in the right direction and must be embraced by all as an indicator for resetting the country, particularly the youth,” he stated.
Gyamfi confirmed that all national service personnel will participate in basic military drills and orientation as part of their service experience, aimed at promoting national development.
Brigadier General Amoah-Boakye, representing the Military High Command, assured the NSA of the Ghana Armed Forces’ support for the initiative, expressing readiness to deliver the necessary training once the program officially commences.
The training is set to last up to two months, with the official start date scheduled for August 3, 2025.
