UTAG-UG threatens strike on October 19 over unpaid allowance

The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG-UG) at the University of Ghana has threatened to withdraw teaching and related services starting October 19, 2026, if the government fails to pay the 2026 Book and Research Allowance. This action is in response to the ongoing delays in the payment of the allowance, which is mandated by a Memorandum of Agreement signed between UTAG and the government in 2020. The association has given the government until Friday, October 16, 2026, to settle the outstanding payments.
