Meanwhile, the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) has called on the government for a structured formula for the upward adjustment of National Service allowance.

Management of the National Service Scheme on Sunday July 23, 2023 announced it had secured approval from government for an upwards adjustment of monthly allowances for National Service Personnel from Ghc559.04 to Ghc 715.57 backdated to January 2023.
