The Management of the National Service Scheme (NSS) has announced the release of PIN Codes for 142,381 final year students from 125 accredited tertiary institutions in the country.

These students are set to undertake their mandatory national service during the 2023/2024 service year.

Please note that this count does not include individual defaulters who have applied for enrollment into this year's national service.

In an official statement signed by Ambrose Entsiwah Jnr, the Ag. Director of Corporate Affairs of NSS, eligible final year Ghanaian students are advised to visit the Scheme's website at www.nss.gov.gh.

There, they can access their PIN Codes using their respective school Index Numbers and Date of Birth.

To complete the enrollment process, students must make a payment of GH¢40.00 at any branch of ADB Bank Ltd. Alternatively, they can use the MTN MoMo platform and pay GH¢41.00.

“The next step is to proceed to any branch of ADB Bank Ltd. to make payment of GH¢40.00; or alternatively, through MTN MoMo platform for GH¢41.00, to activate the enrollment process,” he added.

“Management urges accredited tertiary institutions that are yet to submit their supplementary final year lists, to do so as soon as possible, to enable the Scheme process them also for enrolment for the 2023/2024 national service. All eligible final-year Ghanaian students are advised to ensure that they personally complete the enrollment process to avoid errors that may subsequently affect processing for their deployment,” he added.

The registration deadline is set for Saturday, August 19, 2023. Management encourages accredited tertiary institutions that have not yet submitted their supplementary final year lists to do so promptly.

This will enable the Scheme to process their students for enrollment in the 2023/2024 national service.

Furthermore, all eligible final-year Ghanaian students are strongly advised to personally complete the enrollment process to avoid potential errors that could affect the processing of their deployment.
