NSS personnel declare strike over unpaid allowances

The Concerned National Service Scheme (NSS) Personnel Association of Ghana (CONSPAG) has declared a nationwide strike starting Wednesday, July 3, 2024, due to unpaid allowances.

In a statement, CONSPAG highlighted the hardships faced by personnel, including inability to pay bills, transportation costs, and food expenses, leading to health issues.

The government owes trainees five months’ allowance and graduates three months’ allowance.
