The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) has clarified that its recent strike action against illegal mining, also known as galamsey, has not been called off but rather temporarily suspended.

This comes after UTAG in a statement called on its members to suspend the strike action effective October 29, 2024.

During an interview on Eyewitness News on Thursday, October 24, 2024, Prof.

Akudugu explained that the decision to suspend the strike was reached by the National Executive Committee (NEC), which intends to meet with its members during the suspension period to deliberate on the next steps.
