The National Service Scheme (NSS) has implemented a substantial increment in the allowance provided to its participants. This long-awaited update comes as a response to the increasing costs of living and aims to enhance the overall welfare of NSS beneficiaries during their service period. The decision reflects the government’s commitment to supporting the youth and promoting a successful national service program.

In a statement sighted, from the Acting Director of Corporate Affairs, Ambrose Entsiwah Jnr., the National Service Allowance has been increased from Gh¢ 559.04 to Gh¢ 715.57, starting from January 2023.

Personnel currently serving will thus be paid the arrears for the difference from January 2023 and are advised to exercise patience as they’ll be duly paid as soon as possible.

1. The Management of the National Service Scheme has secured government approval for the upward adjustment of monthly allowances for National Service Personnel from GH¢559.04 to GH$715.57, with effect from January 2023.

2. The approval, which was contained in a letter dated 18th July 2023 and signed by the Deputy Minister for Finance, Hon. Abena Osei-Asare (MP), was a result of a series of engagements between National Service Scheme, Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, and the Ministry of Finance.

3. The letter also directed The Controller and Accountant General to give effect to the new levels of personnel allowances.

4. In effect, 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.

5. Management, therefore, urges all National Service Personnel to exercise patience as the necessary administrative processes are being concluded to have all the arrears duly paid.

Thank you.
