Ghana National Service Authority halts deployment for 13 institutions

The National Service Authority (NSA) has suspended the deployment of graduates from 13 tertiary institutions following a verification exercise by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC). The suspension comes after GTEC confirmed that these institutions “do not currently have accredited status.”

The affected institutions include Multimedia Institute of Ghana, Abbeam Institute of Technology, Star College of Communication, Standard College of Technology, Institute of Commercial Management, UK, Christ Apostolic University College, Oxford Institute of Business and Journalism, Heaf Professional Colleges, NIIT Open Labs Ghana, Community University College (Takoradi), SS Peter and Paul Pastoral and Social Institute, Adonai University College of Research and Entrepreneurship, and College of Tropical Agriculture.

NSA Director-General Ruth Dela Seddoh stated that the authority is unable to deploy graduates from these schools at this time. However, graduates may be considered for deployment once the respective institutions resolve their accreditation issues and GTEC formally confirms their status.
