Accra-Tuesday November 9, 2021: The Office of the Head of the Local Government Service has organised an orientation for its 2021/2022 cohort of National Service Personnel (NSP).

The Head of Service, Ing. Dr Nana Ato Arthur officially welcomed them and encouraged them to be of good conduct and inspired them to work diligently. He asked them to see themselves as part of the Service and ensure strict adherence to the laid-down rules and regulations as stipulated in the Conditions of Service of the Local Government Service.

Among the areas covered at the programme included Decentralisation and Local Governance; Strategic Direction of the Service; Code of Ethics of the LGS as well as a brief on the National Service Scheme.
