Ghana School Feeding Programme Announces Implementation of Ghc 1.50 Increased Grant
The Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP) has announced that the proposed increase of GHS1.50 per beneficiary pupil will take effect starting with the payment for the Second Term of the 2023/2024 academic year. This adjustment, outlined in the government’s 2024 Budget and Financial Statement, aims to support the programme’s caterers across the 16 regions. According to a statement released on Friday, 5 July 2024, the GSFP National Secretariat is working closely with the sector Ministry to ensure the timely release of funds by the Controller and Accountant General’s Department. The funds will clear outstanding arrears at the new approved rate, providing relief to caterers who have been waiting for payment. The statement clarified that the recent payment for the first term was based on the previous grant of GHS1.20 per pupil, as captured in the 2023 budget. Any deviation from this approved rate for the first term would have been “extremely challenging.” The GSFP has urged caterers to exercise patience as they finalize the processes for the second term payment. This increase in grant is a welcome development for the programme, which aims to provide nutritious meals to beneficiary pupils across the country. The GSFP remains committed to supporting the education and well-being of Ghana’s children. Source: Apexnewsgh.com Thanks for reading from Apexnewsgh as a news publishing website from Ghana.

National Identification Authority Board Rejects Petition to Remove Executive Secretary
The Governing Board of the National Identification Authority (NIA) has dismissed a petition by the Public Service Workers Union (PSWU) seeking the removal of Executive Secretary Prof. Ken Attafuah. Apexnewsgh reports The petition, signed by 920 staff members, alleged unfair labor practices, but the Board has expressed full confidence in Prof. Attafuah’s leadership and integrity. The Board criticized the PSWU for bypassing internal grievance procedures and petitioning President Akufo-Addo directly, deeming it premature and inappropriate. The National Labour Commission (NLC) also ruled that the union’s actions were “illegal and completely out of line.” The Governing Board urged staff to maintain faith in the leadership and work together to achieve common goals, including improving conditions of service. The Board assured that it will continue to work with the Executive Secretary, Management, and unions to advance this purpose. The statement released by the Governing Board emphasized that internal mechanisms should be utilized to address grievances before seeking external intervention. The Board’s decision reaffirms its support for Prof. Attafuah’s leadership and commitment to the NIA’s objectives.

ECOWAS Moves Forward with Single Currency Initiative, ECO
A significant milestone has been reached in the journey towards a more integrated economic future for West Africa. Apexnewsgh reports Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors from the 15 member states of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have advanced plans to launch the single currency initiative, known as the ECO. The initiative, which has received endorsement from Nigeria, aims to promote economic growth and development throughout the West African sub-region. The single currency is also a feature of the three-in-one Identity cards planned by the National Identity Management Commission, set for roll-out by August. Nigeria’s Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, emphasized the critical role the ECO will play in fostering economic growth and development in the region, reaffirming Nigeria’s commitment to its successful implementation. The meeting brought together key players, including the Minister of Finance of Cape Verde, Mr. Olavo Correia, the Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs of Cote d’Ivoire, Mr. Adama Coulibaly, and the Ghanaian Minister of Finance, Mr. Mohammed Amin Adam. Participants emerged with a shared belief that the single currency holds immense potential to reshape the economic landscape of the region, paving the way for a more prosperous future for all member states. However, the success of the ECO initiative faces challenges with the withdrawal of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger from ECOWAS. Despite efforts to engage these countries, they have not responded positively. Nevertheless, the remaining member states are committed to moving forward with the initiative, which is expected to have a significant impact on the economic landscape of the region. The ECO initiative extends beyond a mere currency, aspiring to become a cornerstone of economic integration, streamlining trade and bolstering monetary stability across the region. With renewed sense of purpose, the member states are dedicated to shaping the future of West African economics and creating a more integrated and prosperous region.
