The deployment accommodates healthcare professionals who successfully cleared their Nursing and Midwifery Council licensure examinations in August and September 2025.
In a statement issued on Monday, June 22, 2026, the Director-General of the NSA, Mrs Ruth Dela Seddoh, instructed all prospective personnel to access the official portal to verify their allocations.
The affected graduates must undergo regional validation starting June 22, 2026, before reporting to their assigned stations on July 1, 2026.
The management emphasised that the deployment operations strictly align with the National Service Authority Act, 2024 (Act 1119). Under these provisions, corporate bodies and public facilities cannot legally engage any graduate who hasn't fulfilled or been exempted from service requirements.
Furthermore, the Registrar of Companies retains the mandate to deny business registrations to citizens who flout this legislation. Organisations found violating these structural recruitment codes will face an administrative penalty of 5,000 penalty units.
