Addressing journalists in Accra on Wednesday, May 21, George Ansong, National Chairman of the Senior Staff Association of Ghana,
“The leadership of the Senior Staff Association of Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG), the Technical Universities Administrators Association of Ghana (TUWAG) and the Federation of University Senior Staff Association of Ghana (FUSAG) announce, with deep regret but unwavering resolve, our decision to embark on an indefinite strike action effective today 21st May, 2025,” said Ansong.
“This difficult decision comes after countless engagement and goodwill efforts extended to the government which have unfortunately been met with persistent inaction, neglect and blatant failure to honour the terms of our duly signed agreement six months ago,” he added.
According to him, the government has continuously reneged on its commitment, thereby undermining the trust and cooperation that should exist between the parties. Enditem
