The Senior Staff Association–Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG) has suspended its nationwide strike following government intervention.
In a statement, the association noted that the Ministry of Finance has finally released the long-awaited letter authorizing the implementation of a negotiated agreement, which is to take effect from November 2024.
Additionally, the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has issued a directive to all public universities to commence payment immediately.
As a result, SSA-UoG has instructed its members to resume work on Friday, May 23, 2025.
SSA-UoG, in collaboration with the Technical University Administrators Association of Ghana (TUAAG) and the Federation of Universities Senior Staff Association of Ghana (FUSSAG), had on Wednesday, May 21, declared an indefinite nationwide strike. The action was in protest of what they described as persistent delays and failure to honor an agreement signed six months ago.
The association expressed appreciation to the Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, and the Director-General of GTEC, Professor Ahmed Jinapor Abdulai, for their dedication and efforts in resolving the impasse.
