GAUA strike to halt salaries, admissions, promotions and procurement across universities

The Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA) has initiated a strike that will disrupt essential services in public universities across Ghana. This industrial action will impact key operations such as salary processing, admissions, procurement, promotions, and human resource functions. GAUA's General Secretary, Charles Kojo Aidoo, explained that the withdrawal of services by professionals in various fields, including accountants, engineers, architects, lawyers, and medical doctors, will directly affect the daily functioning of university campuses.

The strike stems from longstanding grievances over perceived disparities in remuneration between teaching and non-teaching staff. GAUA argues that non-teaching staff, despite their qualifications and responsibilities, are undervalued, citing examples of significant differences in pay between assistant lecturers and university administrators.
