In a press statement issued on Wednesday, 12th February, the National President of NASPA, Andy Amuaku, praised the President for his decisive action and pledged the association’s full support in addressing the corruption within the system.
He also expressed gratitude to the President for clearing the allowance arrears.
In 2024, it was revealed that the management of the National Service Authority (NSA) had allegedly created a total of 81,885 suspected ghost names on its payroll.
The funds allocated to these fictitious names end up in the pockets of those in charge, depriving actual service personnel of their rightful payments.
