President Mahama to Introduce Short Military Training as Part of National Service
During his State of the Nation Address (SONA) yesterday, President John Dramani Mahama announced plans to introduce a short military training program as part of the National Service Scheme. This initiative aims to instill discipline, patriotism, and resilience among the youth while equipping them with essential survival and leadership skills.
According to President Mahama, the training will not be a full military enlistment but a structured program designed to expose young people to basic military drills, physical fitness, and civic responsibility. He emphasized that this will help foster national unity and better prepare the youth for leadership roles in the future. Join my WhatsApp group now
The announcement has generated discussions across the country, with some Ghanaians praising the initiative for its potential to enhance discipline and national security consciousness. However, others have raised concerns about logistics, funding, and whether the training should be mandatory or optional.
As the government moves forward with this proposal, more details on its implementation are expected to be released in the coming months. President Mahama assured the nation that his administration is committed to ensuring that the program benefits all participants and contributes to national development.

The initiative is a good one as it will foster a cautious and informed youth ready for leadership. Nonetheless I agree with the lot that believes the military training for national service shouldn’t compulsory but encouraged
