You know that not all the 100,000 service personnel that we deploy will be able to go so\u2026 we are thinking about getting 100 to 200 service personnel. It is very competitive and the competitiveness will depend on the impact you make at your area of deployment, you will be short listed before you chossento go to do that six weeks exchange programme,\u201d he Executive Director further explained.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Jamila Akweley Okertchiri<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NSS Executive Director, Ussif Mustapha The National Service Secretariat (NSS) has announced the deployment of 77,962 personnel to various sectors of the economy for the 2019\/2020 service year.
