We’re ready to call off strike if govt pays allowances

The National Chairman of the Public Services Workers’ Union (PSWU), Ken Tweneboah Koduah, has disclosed that the union is ready to call off its ongoing indefinite strike if the government takes steps to restore and pay all outstanding allowances.

The industrial action, which began on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, has disrupted operations at regional, district, and premium centres of the National Identification Authority (NIA), leaving many of them deserted and halting all NIA-related services across the country.

In an interview with Citi News on June 24, Mr. Koduah stressed that the strike will be suspended once the government shows commitment by rectifying the issue and providing a clear payment timeline.

“Their allowance must be restored. The government must give direction. If he is not ready to restore today, when does he intend to restore it? If the government is talking about budget constraint, the mid-year review is just a few months away, the government must show commitment because what has happened is an error, and the poor worker should not suffer for the error”, he said.
