Updated by October ,06, 2021

The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) has directed its members to resume the suspended strike action from Friday, October 8, 2021.

The decision follows the failure of government to meet demands made by the lecturers concerning their conditions of service.

The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) embarked on a strike from August 2, 2021 to protest what they say is their poor conditions of service.

After two weeks of the strike, they reached an agreement with government to suspend their strike action and resume negotiation for a mandatory 30 days, with the hope that their
concerns will be addressed.
Among others, the University Teachers Association of Ghana wanted government to pay entry level lecturers 2,084 dollars.
But after the expiry of the mandatory 30 days negotiation, UTAG is directing members to suspend all teaching related activities on campus.

In a circular to members sighted by JoyNews, new National President of the Association, Professor Samuel Nunoo said government had remained adamant on its position despite the Association shifting its position on a number of passions.

“For this reason, the National Executive Committee of UTAG at its meeting held on 1st October, 2021, members should resume the suspension of teaching and related activities until further notice.”
