The National Identification Authority (NIA) has confirmed the payment of the 20% Operational Support Allowance owed to its staff for the period January to July 2025.
The payment follows a nationwide strike by NIA staff, which was prompted by the Ministry of Finance’s failure to provide a clear commitment or timeline for settling the allowance, the only benefit staff receive in addition to their basic salary.
Addressing the media, the NIA’s Head of Corporate Affairs, Williams Ampomah Emmanuel Darlas, announced that all outstanding arrears have now been cleared.
“I’m happy to announce that the 20% Staff Operational Allowance has been paid, and the arrears from January to July have been cleared,” he said.
He also expressed gratitude to staff and stakeholders for their patience and support during the industrial action, adding that the NIA remains committed to managing a credible, secure, and universal identity system in full compliance with legal and data protection standards.
