Vice President Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia has committed to ensuring the timely and consistent disbursement of nursing trainee allowances, aiming to eliminate any future arrears.

Addressing nursing trainees in the Savannah Region, Dr. Bawumia reiterated his dedication to ensuring that these vital funds are allocated promptly.

“For us, we restored the allawa. For other people, they cancelled the allawa. And we are going to keep working hard. And I am going to keep my eyes on your allawa so that we can make sure that it is regular and comes and comes and comes.

"You will be assured of that. I am going to keep my eye on it. We are going to change this country,” Dr. Bawumia assured the gathering.

Furthermore, during a meeting with nurses and midwives in Accra on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, the Vice President announced the disbursement of 177 million Ghana cedis on Thursday, May 16, 2024, to settle outstanding arrears owed to nursing trainees.

“This Thursday, the Controller is transferring 177 million Ghana cedis to the Ministry of Health to pay the nursing training allowances.

“So I have also alerted Dr. Okoe-Boye to be on standby when the money hits the Ministry of Health account. They should move it quickly to the accounts of the nursing trainees so that they will have their allawa. It will drop,” Dr. Bawumia stated.
