Last-minute NSS recruits fired

The National Service Secretariat has sacked all last-minute recruits engaged by former Director Dr Michael Kpessah Whyte in December last year just before the Mahama administration left office after losing the December 7 polls.

A letter to that effect signed by Acting Executive Director Ussif Mustapha released on Wednesday, February 8 said the management of the National Service Scheme (NSS) acted “on the advice of the Minister of Education” to “withdraw the National Service staff recruitment which was done in December, 2016 with immediate effect”.

The letter further said there has been “violations of due process to the recruitment” hence the decision” to terminate the employment offers.

The NSS however assured that there will be “a new opportunity to have the staff recruitment properly carried out”.
