Tertiary Educational Institutions Network (TEIN), a student wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has set President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s administration a two-week deadline to pay national service allowances.
For some months, TEIN has been aware of the nonpayment of allowances to service workers.
According to a statement made by TEIN’s Deputy National Coordinator Ekow Djan, the situation is awful and exceedingly regrettable in light of the general public’s economic hardship.
“The buck stops with President Akufo-Addo for his wanton disregard towards the services these young persons render to the Republic of Ghana, and most importantly, his disrespect for the personnel and lack of sense of urgency to respond to their plights.

“TEIN gives Akufo-Addo a two week ultimatum to pay the allowance owed the service personnel lest we hit the streets of Accra to openly register our displeasure.
“Again, all other outstanding allowances owed trainees; teachers, nurses, NABCO, Youth in Afforestation etc. should be paid within the given time frame. The failure of our grandfather, Mr. Akufo-Addo, can no longer be tolerated. Enough is enough!”
