GAUA suspends industrial action after emergency NEC meeting
The University of Ghana has announced that students will start reporting to their respective halls of residence from October 19, 2026. This was revealed in a notice released by the institution on Friday, October 16, following a meeting of the Business and Executive Committee. The announcement comes after random allocation of beds is set to occur on October 16.
Orientation for new students will be held from October 21 to 23, with lectures commencing on October 26, 2026. To ensure a smooth reopening and commencement of lectures, Management has urged students to settle their fees and complete their academic registration online via the University’s STS or DiGradsys portal using prescribed procedures.
The University’s Pro Vice-Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs, Professor Gordon A. Awandare, signed the notice. The University expressed its gratitude to students for their cooperation and understanding. The suspension of the strike by the Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA) and the Technical University Senior Administrators Association of Ghana (TUSAAG) follows the resolution of around 80% of their grievances, following discussions with the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Finance, and other relevant government institutions.
The strike, which started on August 10, had caused disruptions in administrative activities across public and technical universities, and earlier attempts to resolve the issue had been unsuccessful.
