NSA releases 2025/2026 service postings
Meanwhile, the National Service Authority (NSA) has already released the first batch of postings for the 2025/2026 service year, deploying 85,159 graduates from accredited tertiary institutions across the country.
These graduates have been placed in both public and private sector institutions.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, the Authority explained that this initial figure excludes personnel with data mismatches, including teachers, nurses, and midwives whose placements would be added later after verification is complete.

According to the NSA, the total number of postings is expected to increase once these categories are finalised.
The Authority assured the public that the deployment exercise was conducted carefully and urged patience as the remaining postings undergo technical and administrative checks.
NSA cautioned against using middlemen for posting
The National Service Authority (NSA) further advised prospective service personnel to avoid dealing with middlemen or fraudulent agents who claim to influence postings for money.
According to the Authority, prospective service personnel must complete the following steps:
- Check placement at gnsa.gov.gh.
- Print appointment letters and have them endorsed by their place of posting.
- Book an appointment online for registration and validation.
- Visit designated regional centres with the endorsed letter and Ghana Card to complete registration.
The regional validation and registration process was scheduled to begin on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, and end on Friday, November 21, 2025, while the 2025/2026 national service officially begins on Monday, November 3, 2025.
The Director-General of the NSA, Ruth Dela Seddoh, congratulated all deployed personnel, encouraging them to embrace this opportunity to contribute meaningfully to Ghana’s socio-economic development through dedicated service.
