The Ministry of Finance has approved the implementation of revised allowances for members of three senior staff unions in Ghana’s public tertiary institutions.

The approval, granted on May 21, 2025, follows the successful conclusion of negotiations between the government and the unions involved.

The revised allowances apply to members of the Senior Staff Association–University of Ghana (SSA-UoG), the Federation of Senior Staff Associations of Ghana (FUSSAG), and the Technical University Administrators’ Association of Ghana (TUAAG).

Implementation is set to take retrospective effect from November 1, 2024.
