The National Service Authority (NSA) has revealed plans to raise the monthly allowances for service personnel nationwide. At present, National Service personnel earn approximately GH¢715 per month.
According to the Acting Director-General of the Authority, Ruth Dela Seddoh, discussions are at an advanced stage to finalise the new rate.
Speaking to journalists in Accra, Ms. Seddoh declined to specify the percentage of the proposed increment but assured that the adjustment would be substantial.
“It is something that the President has expressed his interest in. But we all know the situation we find ourselves in, and so we don’t want to press him too hard. Let’s be hopeful.
“I don’t want to go ahead of the Minister, but I can assure you that we have had very good talks and we are hopeful that there will be some increment,” she said.
Meanwhile, the NSA has announced that online registration for the 2025/2026 service year will commence on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, and close on Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
According to the Authority, the decision follows a directive from President John Dramani Mahama after a Technical and Forensic Audit of the previous Central Service Management Platform (CSMP) revealed deficiencies in the system.
As a result, the NSA was directed to develop and deploy a more secure and transparent digital platform capable of ensuring real-time verification and accountability.
In a statement, the Authority indicated that all registrations completed in June 2025 are now invalid and instructed all prospective personnel to re-register.
It explained that this move became necessary after data integrity issues, including age discrepancies, were discovered during the earlier registration process.
