Mustapha, the National Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), conveyed his pleasure regarding the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) decision to terminate its strike and recommence academic activities at the University of Ghana.
It was a great delight to receive the news that UTAG has called off its strike,” Mustapha declared, adding, “I am exceedingly happy with this development and doff my hat for UTAG and salute them.
On October 28, 2024, Mustapha released a statement advocating for the recommencement of academic activities at public universities, highlighting that his request was made with the welfare of the students in mind.
I was mindful of the academic work and also their constitutional right to vote since most of the students registered on campus.
He acknowledged the apprehensions expressed by both students and faculty regarding the effects of an extended strike on the academic calendar, observing that.
I have had fruitful discussions with some executives of UTAG and members who expressed grave worry over the continuation of the strike as it had the propensity to dislocate the realigned academic calendar.
In conclusion, Mustapha expressed his appreciation for UTAG and its leadership for their commitment to the academic community.
Once again, I wish to express my profound gratitude to UTAG and its executives for their show of good faith, fidelity, and commitment to Ghanaian students. The NPP youth wing says Ayeekoo.
