The National Association of Institutional Suppliers (NAIS) are picketing at the Ministry of Education today, Thursday, June 11, 2026, demanding payment of arrears owed its members since 2023.
The suppliers, who provide uniforms to senior high schools across the country, say government has failed to settle debts for services rendered for over two years.
Speaking at the protest, the group said several meetings with officials of the Ministry and Ghana Education Service have yielded no results, with payment dates repeatedly postponed.
“We have supplied uniforms to schools as contracted, but since 2023 till date, government has refused to pay us,” one supplier told journalists. “We keep getting promises and new dates, but no money.”
The picketers warned that failure to release the funds will disrupt uniform supply for the next academic term, leaving many students stranded.
The Ministry of Education is yet to officially respond to the protest.
