Workers of the National Identification Authority (NIA), under the Public Services Workers’ Union (PSWU) of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) Ghana, have commenced an indefinite strike nationwide starting Wednesday, May 13, 2026.
The strike follows demands for the immediate approval and implementation of migration reports concerning workers’ conditions of service, a move the union says is long overdue.
In a joint statement signed by Assistant Divisional Secretary Godsway Ayivor and Divisional Chairman Bismark Francis Bangfudem Nyuzaghl, the union directed all members not to report to work from midnight, May 12, 2026, until further notice.
“Effective 12:00 midnight, the indefinite strike is fully activated. Accordingly, no member of the NIA Division is expected to show up for work until further notice,” the statement read.
The union has also instructed regional executives to establish monitoring teams to ensure full compliance with the industrial action in all NIA offices across Ghana. Members facing challenges during the strike have been urged to report to divisional executives for support.
“In solidarity, we stand. No retreat, no surrender until victory,” the statement declared.
