NATIONAL SERVICE FOR GRADUATES WILL BE OPTIONAL UNDER MY PRESIDENCY

NATIONAL SERVICE FOR GRADUATES WILL BE OPTIONAL UNDER MY PRESIDENCY - BAWUMIA

# NATIONAL POLITICS

WRITTEN BY ABRAKWA JACOB KOJO

In a recent speech at the UPSA auditorium in Accra, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President and flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), unveiled a bold proposal to revamp Ghana's national service scheme.

Highlighting the pressing need for job creation among Ghanaian youth, Dr. Bawumia advocated for a significant shift in the current national service policy. Under his proposed plan, graduates who secure employment immediately after completing their education would be exempt from national service obligations. This exemption, he argued, would enable these graduates to swiftly join the workforce and contribute to the nation's economic growth.

Furthermore, Dr. Bawumia suggested making national service optional for all graduates, granting them the freedom to choose whether to participate. By removing the mandatory nature of national service, he believes that students would have more flexibility to pursue immediate career opportunities, rather than being constrained by compulsory service.

Dr. Bawumia emphasized that these proposed changes would not only benefit graduates but also encourage companies to actively recruit on university campuses. By directly engaging with a pool of talented and job-ready graduates, businesses could streamline their recruitment processes and address workforce needs more effectively.

In summarizing his vision for the future of Ghana's national service scheme, Dr. Bawumia stated: "It is time to rethink the concept of our current national service scheme. My government will propose that those who secure jobs after completing their education would be exempted from national service. National service will no longer be mandatory, and students will have the option to decide whether to participate. This will also encourage companies to visit campuses for recruitment annually."

With this bold proposal, Dr. Bawumia aims to tackle youth unemployment head-on and create new opportunities for Ghana's emerging workforce.

UNIVERSITY STUDENT DIES AFTER MASTURBATING 42 TIMES IN A NIGHT.

CAUTION By Abrakwa Jacob Kojo 1 minute read Following 42 instances of nighttime masturbation, the authorities officially declared the death of a Brazilian adolescent named David Garcia. He is said to have started masturbating at midnight and passed out a few hours later, into the next morning. His mother claimed to have knowledge of his addiction. But because her kid passed away before she could, she was tardy in getting him care. His school pals made remarks about how they had seen their friend struggle with addiction. He primarily urged them to watch pornography, they said. Regardless of their race or physical characteristics, he also felt an odd fascination to the female students. His room also had a lot of obscene images. This event took place in 2011.
