The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has emphasized the need for leaders of both public and private institutions to treat National Service Personnel with dignity and respect, rather than relegating them to menial tasks. In a statement made during a recent parliamentary session, Bagbin stressed that this is a critical year for the development of National Service Personnel, and leaders must not waste this opportunity.
According to Bagbin, National Service Personnel are not errand boys and girls, but rather young individuals who have been entrusted to the care of institutions for their training and development. He emphasized that these individuals have been selected from various tertiary institutions and have undergone rigorous training to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to contribute meaningfully to the development of the country.
Bagbin further emphasized that National Service Personnel are not a cheap source of labor, but rather a valuable resource that must be nurtured and developed. He urged leaders to provide them with challenging tasks that will enable them to grow and develop their skills, rather than assigning them to menial tasks that do not require any skill or expertise.
The Speaker also emphasized the importance of providing National Service Personnel with a conducive working environment, where they can learn and grow. He urged leaders to provide them with the necessary resources, including training and development opportunities, to enable them to reach their full potential.
In conclusion, Bagbin urged leaders to treat National Service Personnel with dignity and respect, and to provide them with the necessary resources and opportunities to enable them to grow and develop. He emphasized that this is a critical year for their development, and leaders must not waste this opportunity.
