The National Service Scheme’s (NSS) management has guaranteed national service personnel that the Scheme will pay their September allowances, as well as any other arrears owing to them.
In response to the delay, management stated in a press release that the September 2023 allowances have been delivered to the Scheme and are being processed for distribution as soon as feasible.
They also stated that the payments for October 2023 and other arrears are being handled and would be paid shortly after the September allowances are paid.
“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.
