The National Identification Authority (NIA) has temporarily suspended its indefinite strike action initiated by its staff under the Public Services Workers’ Union (PSWU).
The workers are expected to resume the full resumption of registration and ID services across the country starting Monday, June 30, 2025.
Workers of the NIA embarked on a strike action after accusing the government of failing to provide a definitive commitment or timeline regarding the payment of the Operational Support Allowance, the only allowance NIA staff get to supplement their basic pay.
But in its latest notice, which was issued on Sunday, June 29, 2025, and signed by Williams Ampomah E. Darlas, Head of the NIA’s Corporate Affairs Directorate, it indicated that they suspended the strike after an extensive engagements with the National Labour Commission (NLC), the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC), the Ministry of Finance, and the leadership of the PSWU.
“Management acknowledges and appreciates the good faith demonstrated by the Union and wishes to assure all staff that their legitimate concerns remain a priority and will continue to receive the urgent attention they deserve,” the statement read.
“All NIA offices and registration centres across the country will resume full operations on Monday, 30th June 2025,” the authority confirmed, urging the public to take advantage of the resumption to access ID services.
