According to the NSS, the allowance has been increased from GH¢559.04 to GH¢715.57 which takes effect dating back to January 2023.
The approval, a statement from the NSS said, was contained in a letter dated July 18 and signed by the Deputy Minister for Finance, Abena Osei-Asare as a result of a series of engagements between the National Service Scheme, Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, and the Ministry of Finance.
“The Management of the National Service Scheme has secured government approval for upward adjustment of monthly allowances for National Service Personnel from GH¢559.04 to GH¢715.57, with effect from January 2023.
“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 statement announced.
The statement further directed the Controller and Accountant-General to give effect to the new levels of the personnel allowances.
