YEN.com.gh reached out to Mr Suleman Dadzie, the School Counselor and Dean of Students in Charge of Discipline, on the matter, who advised NSS personnel to guard against the idea that the mandatory one-year period is merely a formality.

He urged them to be mindful of attitudes that might portray them as unserious.

"Many service personnel enter organizations to satisfy their whimsical needs. But it is important to state that, your attitude during service has the tendency to put you at a pedestal you never expected."
