‘Public sector is choked, there is no NSP retention’ – Ashanti Region NSA Director on fresh deployment plan
The Ashanti Regional Director of the National Service Authority (NSA), Emmanuel Fynn Reagan, says the public sector has limited capacity to retain National Service Personnel (NSPs) after their mandatory service.
The Ashanti Regional Director of the National Service Authority (NSA), Emmanuel Fynn Reagan, has revealed that the national public sector is unable to accommodate newly deployed National Service Personnel (NSPs) after their mandatory service period. In an interview with reporters, Mr Fynn Reagan emphasized that NSPs should explore opportunities in the private sector, stating that government institutions lack the capacity for retention.
He noted that prominent entities like the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) and the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) are already at full capacity, leaving limited room for additional personnel. According to Mr Fynn Reagan, the NSA aims to deploy around 70% of service personnel to private agencies to enhance their prospects post-national service.
He urged NSPs to prioritize private sector placements, arguing that they offer better retention prospects and a more promising future for themselves. The NSA’s proposed plan comes in response to growing concerns about employment opportunities for graduates following their national service commitments.
