The Accra Metropolis executives of the National Service Personnel Association (NASPA) have embarked on a two-day face mask distribution exercise in different part of the Greater Accra Region.

About 3,500 customised face masks were presented to National Service Personnel (NSS) at institutions including the Social Security and National Insurance Trust, Accra Technical University, COCOBOD, and the ministries, department agencies.

The exercise is part of measures to ensure the safety of service personnel during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Reason for donation

The Public Relations Officer of NASPA Accra Metropolis, Mr Michael Agbozo, told The Mirror that it was expedient for the donation to be done.

“One of the key things we take into consideration is the welfare of the people and that is why we are giving them the mask to protect themselves. We are distributing the face mask to all service personnel in the Accra metropolis.

The items on display

“Due to our benevolence and prowess of leadership, we have been able to put some projects across. However, some of them are prospective projects we are looking forward to embark upon before the end of August this year,” he said.

Project

Mr Agbozo said that the team has collaborated with Safe Drive Innovations to roll out a driving programme for over 500 service personnel to prepare them in defensive driving and acquisition of valid driving license.

“Some National Service Personnel have been to the driving school with a subsidise amount of fees. We realised that before a company will employ, they look out for someone who can drive aside his or her qualification. Also they can use the license to start their own driving business.

“Some of them are done with the school while others are in the process of completing. In addition to that, we have been able to install a sign post at the new NSS office around Supreme Court area just to make it easier for personnel to locate the office,” he added.
