The National Association of Institutional Suppliers (NAIS) has announced plans to picket at the Ministry of Education on June 11, 2026, over the government’s failure to settle outstanding payments owed to its members under the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) programme.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, June 3, the association said the protest had become necessary due to the prolonged delay in the payment of approximately GH¢50 million owed to suppliers of uniforms, house dresses, and school cloths to public senior high schools.
According to NAIS, its members have not received payment for supplies delivered since 2023 despite several engagements and appeals to the relevant authorities.
The association said the non-payment has caused significant financial hardship for suppliers and is threatening their ability to continue providing essential services to schools.
