The transition team has been put in place, and the framework for the new system has been set up. I can assure every prospective member of personnel to calm down, as postings will be ready by November 1.

Historically, the programme has posted over 100,000 graduates annually across various sectors, contributing to national development while providing young Ghanaians with professional experience.
The current crisis began when concerns emerged about the integrity of the NSA's Central Management System (CMS), also known as the "Metric App".
This digital platform had been responsible for managing the complex logistics of posting tens of thousands of service personnel to various organisations across the country.

Following investigative reports that raised questions about the system's credibility and potential irregularities, President John Dramani Mahama took decisive action on June 18, 2025, ordering the indefinite suspension of the CMS.
The presidential directive mandated a comprehensive technical and forensic audit of the entire system to ensure transparency and restore public confidence in the posting process.
