The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) convened its Third Quarter National Executive Council (NEC) meeting at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) on Thursday, June 27, 2024, with representation from all member universities.
A communique that was issued after extensive deliberations stated among other things that “Members of NEC expressed significant concern regarding the delay in the payment of
the IGF component of the Online Teaching Support Allowance (OTSA) by many
member universities despite the existence of a dedicated budget line for this purpose
in all public universities.
“NEC finds this delay unacceptable and requests that the Vice-Chancellors Ghana (VCG) take immediate action to clear all outstanding arrears. Failure to honour these payments promptly could potentially lead to industrial action, which NEC is keen to avoid in the interest of maintaining harmonious labour relations and uninterrupted academic activities.”
