The National Service Authority (NSA) has initiated talks with the Military High Command to roll out 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 vision of fostering discipline, nationalism, and physical fitness among Ghanaian graduates.
The President first revealed this initiative in his inaugural State of the Nation Address on Thursday, February 27, 2025.
Felix Gyamfi, Director-General of the NSA, emphasized that this training is crucial for developing a resilient and patriotic youth. “This military training is a positive step forward and should be embraced by everyone as a key element in resetting our country, especially among the youth,” he remarked.
Gyamfi reiterated that all National Service Personnel will undergo basic military drills and orientation during their service to promote national development.
Brigadier General Amoah-Boakye, representing the Military High Command, assured the NSA of the Ghana Armed Forces’ commitment to the program. He confirmed that they are prepared to deliver the required training when the programme officially launches.
The training will span up to two months of basic military drills, with sessions set to begin on August 3, 2025.
