The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) branch of the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) has withdrawn teaching services at the University.
This was disclosed to Ultimate FM’s Ivan Heatcothe – Fumador at a press conference, today to register their protest over government dissolution of the Governing Council of the KNUST.
Government on Thursday dissolved the governing council of the university after the violent protest by students there, replacing it with an interim council chaired by Nana Effah Apenteng, Paramount Chief of the Bompata Traditional Area.
It followed briefs and recommendations made by the Minister for Education, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh after he led a high powered delegation, including the Minister for National Security, Albert Kan Dapaah and the Minister-Designate for Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah to the University in the aftermath of the violent protest that saw over 30 vehicles including that of the Dean of Students smashed.
UTAG KNUST has described as unconstitutional the dissolution of the university’s governing council and are calling on government to reverse their action.
The interim council is to manage the school until things settle down within three months.
