Some final-year tertiary students and potential national service personnel have expressed mixed reactions to the government's plans to introduce a short military training programme as part of the National Service Scheme (NSS).
This was after President in his first State of the Nation Address (SONA), announced that the government would introduce a short military training programme for national service personnel to instill a sense of fitness and discipline among the youth.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on their views on the training, some believed that the move was a step in the right direction, while others thought the programme would not be of value for personnel.
Mavis Anokye Mensah, a final-year student of the University of Media, Arts and Communications-Institute of Journalism (UNIMAC-IJ), said the military training would instill discipline, resilience, and a spirit of teamwork among the youth for nation-building.
