The Acting Director-General of the National Service Authority (NSA), Ruth Dela Seddoh, has announced that all 12,000 national service personnel who registered in June 2025 must re-register after an audit revealed more than 2,000 inaccurate or fake entries.
Addressing the press on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, she explained that the earlier exercise had been declared invalid as part of efforts to strengthen data integrity and eliminate fraudulent records within the scheme.

“When the system was opened in June, over 12,000 people registered, but our audit revealed more than 2,000 inaccurate or fake entries.
“To maintain integrity, all those who registered then must register again. However, anyone who made payments in June will have their money refunded”, she noted.
