On his part, the Chairman of the NSS Board, Professor Kofi Osei-Akuoku, said the policy had come at the right time.
“The NSS board endorsed this insurance policy because we took into consideration the vulnerability of a large number of the service persons who are working under harsh and challenging situations, including health challenges and loss of life in the line of duty.

“It is for these and other reasons that the board lends its support to ensuring that the insurance policy comes to fruition,” he said.
Prof. Osei-Akuoku further urged the management of Glico Life to ensure that qualified service persons get access to claims in times of need, saying “we will not hesitate at all to abrogate the agreement if the quality of the service is compromised.”
