Monthly allowance for National Service Personnel (NSP) has been adjusted upward by 28 percent; from GH₵559.04 to GH₵715.57 effective January, 2023.
This results from the National Service Scheme (NSS) management securing government’s approval from the Ministry of Finance.
The approval – contained in a letter dated 18th July 2023 and signed by Deputy Minister for Finance, Abena Osei-Asare – was resulted from a series of engagements between the National Service Scheme, Fair Wages and Salaries Commission and Ministry of Finance.
According to the letter, the Controller and Accountant-General has been directed to give effect to the new levels of personnel allowances.
Therefore, all currently active National Service Personnel are entitled to arrears for the difference in upward adjustment from January 2023, and will be paid accordingly.
Management by the statement urged all National Service Personnel to exercise patience, as the necessary administrative processes are being concluded to have all the arrears duly paid.
NSS allowance was last adjusted in 2017 when it was increased from GH₵350 to GH₵559.04.
