The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) has decided to hold back its planned strike until the expiration of the negotiation period.
This follows a meeting on April 16 with the National Labour Commission (NLC) and some representatives of Government, including Minister of Education, Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang;Â Deputy Minister in charge of Tertiary Education, Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa; and the Executive Secretary of the National Council for Tertiary Education.
A statement signed by Dr Samuel Awinkene Atintono, UTAG National Secretary, said: “The association is going to respect the directive by the NLC to both parties to negotiate and report to the Commission on May 14.â€

UTAG’s decision to go on strike was in respect of Government's non-payment of book and research allowances.
