The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) has directed its members to suspend their ongoing strike by October 29, 2024.
This decision comes after several weeks of industrial action by UTAG members across various public universities, which has significantly disrupted academic activities nationwide.
UTAG initiated the strike on October 10, 2024, in protest against the government’s perceived inaction regarding illegal mining (galamsey), which has severely affected many river bodies and forest reserves.
In a statement, the NEC urged UTAG members to return to the classroom. Meanwhile, tertiary students are expected to resume classes on November 1, 2024.
