Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice President of Ghana and leader of the New Patriotic Party has revealed that under his leadership, national service will be optional for university graduates.
This declaration represents a break from the nation’s long-standing practice of mandatory national service. He used the changing nature of work and education to highlight the need for a more flexible approach.
According to the presidential candidate for the NPP, graduates from Ghana would now be free to decide whether or not to perform national duty.
Bawumiah further emphasized that since businesses may now contact different postsecondary schools directly for employment needs, this shift will make the recruitment process easier for them.
On Wednesday, February 7, 2024, at the University of Professional Studies (UPSA) in Accra, he announced this in a national speech.
