YEN.com.gh reached out to an educationist, Mr Suleman Dadzie, on the issue where he stressed the need for national service personnel to remain financially disciplined during their one-year service period.

He bemoaned that most national service personnel tend to mismanage their allowance, which only affects them in the long run.

"One major challenge NSS personnel encounter is financial mismanagement. This can be avoided once a detailed budget is in place. Also, basic financial discipline is a trait they must imbibe at this time."
