A dramatic twist that has sent shockwaves through the corridors of power, President John Dramani Mahama has dismissed the Executive Director of the National Service Scheme after barely seven months in office. The unexpected shake-up has left many Ghanaians wondering what really went wrong.
The sudden decision, which was announced late last night, has sparked intense public debate, with insiders hinting at serious issues of mismanagement, internal conflicts, and policy disagreements as the possible triggers behind the President’s bold move.
According to close sources within the Jubilee House, the dismissal did not come lightly. Reports suggest that growing concerns about the Scheme’s operations and alleged lapses in transparency raised red flags, eventually leading to the President’s intervention.
For many young graduates who depend on the National Service Scheme as their first step into the job market, this development raises new questions about the stability and future direction of the institution. Students and youth groups across the country have already begun expressing mixed reactions—some applauding the President for acting swiftly, while others worry about the disruption the change may cause.
Political watchers believe this move is a clear signal from President Mahama that his administration will not hesitate to act decisively against any official who fails to meet expectations, regardless of their position or length of service.
With the dismissal now official, attention quickly shifts to who will be appointed next to steer the affairs of the National Service Scheme, especially at a time when thousands of graduates are waiting to be deployed.
One thing is clear: this “sacking” has opened up yet another heated conversation about accountability, leadership, and the high standards President Mahama expects from those who serve under him.
