The National Service Scheme (NSS) will close its registration system on Friday, with half of the 2025–2026 service personnel yet to report, according to Deputy Director-General for Operations, Fuseini Donkor.
Speaking on the AM Show, Donkor voiced concern over the low turnout, noting that only 50% of deployed personnel have completed their registration despite multiple reminders.
He cautioned that the deadline will not be extended and urged remaining personnel to report before the system shuts down.
“By Friday, we are closing the system,” he said.
“Today is Wednesday, and 50% of them have not reported. Our system can take even a million, but they must report and register.”
Fuseini Donkor criticised what he described as deliberate delays and attempts by some personnel to bypass the official process.
He noted that regional offices have been left idle because many deployed personnel are refusing to report, believing they can later return with money to change their postings.
“The frustration they are giving to the system is becoming too much,” he lamented. “Most of the regional offices are just sitting there doing nothing because somebody thinks, ‘I will bring money, I will change it for you.’ Please, by Friday, we are locking the system.”
The Service is expected to issue further updates as the deadline approaches.
