Also, people who end up exactly where they want by sheer luck, end up being rejected by the companies even before the commencement of the service.

In a report filed by Starrnews, the acting NSS boss explained that, claims that some selected graduates are deployed on a protocol basis are untrue, adding that, the process for deployment makes it difficult for any graduate to be favored.

Gifty Oware Aboagye said it is actually a crime for any NSS staff to demand money for reposting, insisting that reposting is free.

“Reposting is not a crime. You can come to NSS and you’ll be reposted if you’re posted to a place but the company says you can’t work there. Reposting is not just free, it’s extremely free. Just walk into our office and get reposted. It’s the duty of my staff to get people reposted," she said.
