TEIN gives Akufo-Addo 14 days ultimatum to pay service personnel their allowances
The Tertiary Educational Institutions Network (TEIN), a student branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has given President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo a two-weeks deadline to pay National Service allowances.
For the past few months, TEIN stated that it has been aware of the nonpayment of allowance to service personnel.
TEIN’s Deputy National Coordinator Ekow Djan, sharing his displeasure about the delay in allowance payments said in a statement that the situation is “disastrous” and “very sad” in light of the general public’s economic hardship.
In addition, TEIN demands that all other outstanding allowances owed to trainee teachers, nurses, NABCO, Youth in Afforestation etc. should be paid within the given time frame.

6TH JUNE, 2022
TEIN GIVES GOV’T A TWO WEEK ULTIMATUM TO PAY NATIONAL SERVICE ALLOWANCE
TEIN has become aware of the nonpayment of National Service Allowance to service personnel for a couple months. The situation is disastrous and highly unfortunate amidst the economic crisis the general public is facing.
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!

EKOW DJAN
DEPUTY NATIONAL TEIN COORDINATOR
