  "account": "Former Executive Secretary of the National Labour Commission (NLC), Hon. Ofosu Asamoah, has urged the government to swiftly establish a Commission to aid in resolving the ongoing teachers' strike. During an interview on GhanAkoma on Akoma 87.9 FM, Asamoah emphasized that the NLC should actively engage in efforts to end the dispute between the government and teachers' unions. He lamented the government's failure to establish the Commission, stating that the NLC is the body mandated by Ghana's labor framework to ascertain the legality of a strike. Asamoah strongly urged the government to promptly set up the Commission to effectively carry out its duties. He also appealed to the government to fulfill its overdue obligations to the teachers, in order to facilitate the end of the strike. The strike, which has disrupted educational activities, has persisted despite calls for the government and teacher unions to resume negotiations and reach a lasting solution.",
  "summary": "He urged government to, as a matter of urgency, ensure that the Commission is fully constituted and functional so it can effectively perform its mandate.",
