University of Ghana suspends exams indefinitely following UTAG strike

Management of the University of Ghana has resolved to put on hold its end-of-semester exams for first and final-year students.

The decision was taken at a meeting held earlier today as lecturers across the country have declared a strike.

UTAG wants the 2012 conditions of service to peg the Basic plus Market Premium of a lecturer at $2,084.42.

In declaring their strike, which took effect on August 2, 2021, UTAG’s National Executive Committee announced that all academic activities were to be suspended including the conduct and supervision of examinations.
