Despite the upsurge in prices of goods and services, transportation fares and high standard of living, national service personnel will still receive GH₵559.04 as allowance.
This was made known when the Executive Director of the National Service Scheme (NSS), Osei Assibey Antwi embarked on a tour to NSS validation centres prior to their deployment.
He said the government was working to cushion service personnel with a Cost Of Living Allowance (COLA).
