The Management of the National Service Scheme (NSS) has secured government approval for upward adjustment of monthly allowances for National Service Personnel from GH¢559.04 to GH¢715.57. The increment takes effect from January 2023.
The approval, which was contained in a letter dated July 18, 2023 and signed by the Deputy Minister for Finance, Abena Osei-Asare (MP), was as a result of series of engagements between the National Service Scheme (NSS), Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) and the Ministry of Finance.
The letter has also directed the Controller and Accountant-General to give effect to the new levels of the Personnels’ allowances.
A statement signed by Ambrose Entsiwah Jnr. the Ag. Director, Corporate Affairs of NSS, indicated that all National Service Personnel who are currently in active service are entitled to arrears for the difference, in the upward adjustment from January 2023, and would be paid accordingly.
The NSS management has, therefore, urged all National Service Personnel to exercise patience as the necessary administrative processes are being concluded to have all the arrears duly paid.
