In a surprise move, Felix Gyamfi, the Acting Director-General of the National Service Authority (NSA), has been reassigned to the Ministry of Finance with immediate effect.
Ruth Dela Seddoh, previously the Second Deputy Director-General, has taken over as the new Director-General of the NSA.
Although there has been no official explanation for the sudden move, sources suggest that the decision is part of a broader government reshuffle aimed at aligning key personnel with the administration’s economic management priorities.
Some speculate that disagreements between Gyamfi and Minister for Youth Development, George Opare Addo, over the NSA’s online deployment portal may have contributed to the reassignment.
Gyamfi’s departure leaves the NSA without a substantive head at a critical time, as the agency prepares for the next batch of national service postings.
During his brief tenure, Gyamfi spearheaded reforms to streamline administrative processes and improve deployment systems.
Ruth Dela Seddoh’s appointment is seen as a stabilizing measure, aimed at ensuring continuity and mitigating disruption to the service’s activities.
As the NSA navigates challenges related to payroll management, operational efficiency, and accountability, all eyes are on the new leadership to see how they will handle systemic reforms and day-to-day operational demands.
With students still waiting to be posted for service after recent delays, the NSA’s effectiveness will be under close scrutiny.
