The NSS emphasized that the GH¢40 charge supports essential ICT infrastructure and services crucial for efficient operation. The fee breakdown includes GH¢10 for NSS electronic ID cards, GH¢10 for National Service Personnel Association (NASPA) dues, and GH¢20 for online services and NSS certificates.

The NSS urged the public to understand that this practice ensures the seamless functioning of the enrolment process.
