The National Service Authority begins online registration for this year’s personnel from October 8 -15, 2025.
All prospective personnel are to use the new official website for registration, Mrs Ruth Dela Seddoh, the Director-General of the Authority, said at a press briefing in Accra on Tuesday.
The official starting date for all national service personnel is Monday, November 3, 2025.
Following a directive from President John Dramani Mahana, a technical and forensic audit was conducted on the previous Central Service Management Platform.
The audit found the system unsatisfactory, and the Authority was directed to design and deploy a new, more robust digital platform to guarantee transparency, security, and real-time verification.
Mrs Seddoh said all previous registrations from June 2025 have been declared null and void, and that every prospective service person must re-register on the new platform. That, she explained, was necessary due to data integrity issues, including discrepancies in ages, identified in the collected data.
The Director-General announced that all legitimate registrants would get a refund of their service fees.
The Authority, she stressed, had implemented stringent new IT reforms and internal controls to prevent payroll fraud and ensure allowances were received on time.
“We have also engaged directly with the Controller and Accountant General’s Department to strengthen financial controls. There will also be periodic efficiency checks,” she said.
She said the Authority was focused on creating diverse pathways for graduates, including youth in agriculture and community improvement programmes, and a new deployment module focused on public health, literacy, sanitation, and voter education in local communities.
Other initiatives are private sector partnerships to facilitate job opportunities and career pathways through skills training.
She said the Authority, in collaboration with the Ghana Armed Forces, would begin implementing the basic military training for the first 10,000 service personnel.
The initiative, which would be done on a pilot basis, was aimed at promoting discipline, civic responsibility and physical development among the personnel.
She cautioned prospective personnel not to deal with any third party or any fake website.
