UTAG Strike Update: ‘We can’t build Ghana on an empty stomach’ –Utag’s Dr. Asah-Asante ; The University Teachers Association of Ghana has been on strike for three weeks, demanding better working conditions. In an interview, a well-known political scientist expressed his concern over the Ghanaian government’s handling of the situation.
According to Dr. Kwame Asah-Asante, the current strike is terrible, and he requests that the government take the necessary steps to guarantee that academic activity starts as soon as feasible.
I don’t know why it is dragging like this. It’s a very simple proposal that UTAG has made to government. And government is aware that it is legitimate and important. Why this posture of government? As if they don’t want to listen. It’s very unfortunate.But I believe government, in a few days to come, will reflect thoroughly and do the needful. All of us want to build the state. But we cannot build this country on an empty stomach.we also have to have our share of the national cake so that at the end of the day, it brings smiles on the faces of all of us and then we go to work with much dignity and confidence.
Since students returned to their separate campuses around the country, academic work has been halted. According to UTAG, the strike will not be called off until their demands for better working conditions are met.
