This directive follows several weeks of strike action, which has significantly impacted academic operations at public institutions across the country.
UTAG embarked on the strike on 10 October 2024, in protest to pressure the government to take immediate action against illicit mining, commonly known as galamsey.
The association argued that the environmental damage caused by illegal mining, particularly the destruction of water bodies, poses a serious threat to national sustainability.
In light of ongoing negotiations and discussions, the NEC resolved that UTAG members should resume teaching, expressing confidence that their concerns would be addressed by the government.
