GAUA, TUSAAG suspend strike; members to resume work October 19

The Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA) and the Technical University Senior Administrators Association of Ghana (TUSAAG) have suspended their month-long strike, with members set to resume work on October 19, 2026. The strike, which began on August 10, disrupted administrative activities across public and technical universities.

The two Associations have directed their members to resume work following engagements with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Finance, and other relevant government institutions. GAUA President Reverend Karikari Amoah stated that the decision to suspend the strike was made after a thorough assessment of the 80% of grievances met by the government, including the payment of market premiums, the 40% retirement rollover, and wrongful placement in the Single Spine Pay Policy.

TUSAAG President Stanley Abopaam also acknowledged the interventions of the Education and Finance Ministers in facilitating progress towards resolving the dispute. The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, welcomed the decision to suspend the strike, expressing relief at the progress made towards restoring normal administrative operations in tertiary institutions.
