Academic activities at the Dr Hilla Limann Technical University (DHLTU) have come to a halt following an indefinite strike declared by the university's chapter of the Technical University Teachers Association of Ghana (TUTAG).
The industrial action, which began on Tuesday, April 8, is a result of the university management's prolonged failure to address key concerns raised by the association over the past two years.
In an interview with Channel One TV, Chairman of TUTAG-DHLTU, Samadu Kamwine, stated that the decision to strike came after repeated engagements with both the university's management and the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) failed to yield positive results.
While management has paid two months of Online Teaching Support Allowance (OTSA) arrears, it has yet to provide a definitive timeline for clearing the remaining 32 months, down from 34 months following partial payments.
