The National Service allowance has been
increased from GHc 243 to
GHc 350.
According to the Ministry of
Education, the increment, which takes effect from January 1, 2014, was to
motivate personnel to give of their best.

Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, a Deputy
Minister of Education in charge of Tertiary, who confirmed the increment to the
Ghanaian Times yesterday, said it followed a request from the National Service
Board.
He said the Ministry forwarded its
approval of the increment to the Ministry of Finance which also granted it.
He said the service allowance had not
witnessed any major upward adjustment for a few years, saying the Ministry
deemed it critical to increase it for the benefit of the service personnel.
“We believe this would motivate the
service personnel to accept postings and perform creditably,” he said.
