The strike action has been suspended by the National Executive Councils (NEC) of the Federation of University Senior Staff Association of Ghana (FUSSAG) and the Senior Staff Association, Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG) from Wednesday, October 16, 2024.
This is what came out of an emergency meeting that was convened on Monday, October 14, 2024.
A joint statement released by the two groups claims that “The NEC have taken this decision after the Government issued a letter indicating that the new rate of the Vehicle Maintenance Allowance (VMA) and Off Campus Allowance be paid to eligible members of the Association.”
“Again, it has also become necessary so that the Association can engage and conclude negotiations with Government on the Conditions of Service (CoS) which had already began,” the statement further noted.
The leadership of the Associations urged government to keep to its words.
“It is our hope that the Government will show utmost good faith to resolve the issues within the stipulated time of two weeks as stated in the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) signed on October 2, 2024 which included the migration of University of Media, Arts and Communication (UNIMAC) migration onto the Universities Pay Structure.”
