The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) has instructed its members to suspend their strike action by Tuesday, October 29, 2024.
The directive comes after several weeks of industrial action that has severely affected academic activities in public universities across the country.
UTAG embarked on the strike on October 10, 2024, as a form of protest aimed at pressuring the government to take decisive action against illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey.
The association argued that the environmental damage caused by galamsey, particularly the destruction of water bodies, posed a threat to national sustainability.
