The payment of an allowance to teacher and nursing students was cancelled by the Mahama administration on the excuse that it was preventing more qualified students from getting admission.

However, the then candidate Nana Akufo-Addo promised to restore the allowance when he is voted into office on the basis that some deprived nursing students rely on the allowance to pay their fees.

He restored the allowance in eight months after assuming office and pegged it at GHC400 per student.
