Management of the National Service Scheme has assured national service personnel of the Scheme’s commitment to paying them their September allowances, as well as other arrears owed them.

In a press statement addressing the delay, the management noted that the September 2023 allowances have been released to the Scheme and are being processed for payment as soon as possible.

They added that the allowances for October 2023 and other arrears are all being processed and will be paid soon after the payment of the September allowances.

“All service personnel are therefore encouraged to exercise restraint as the normal financial processes are being adhered to for all their well-deserved allowances to be paid,” management urged.

The Scheme took the opportunity to commend the patience of all service personnel in the face of challenges they have experienced serving their country.

“Management wishes all national service personnel well as they complete their one-year mandatory national service to the state at the end of October, 2023,” the statement read.
