This episode discusses the opinion piece from The Journal arguing for the abolition or optionalization of Ghana's National Service Scheme (NSS). Initially established in 1973 to address critical manpower shortages, the article asserts that the NSS has become outdated and inefficient in modern Ghana, forcing graduates into often irrelevant roles for minimal pay.
The episode discusses issues such as delayed allowances, missed career opportunities for participants, and recurring allegations of corruption within the scheme, including the significant siphoning of funds through "ghost names."
