Even as the GNAT and NAGRAT Strike was about ending, we were duly
informed of impending UTAG Strike, so we made a visit to the UTAG Office
in Legon.
Thus in releasing our concern about the GNAT & NAGRAT Strike w expressed our misgivings about the general Labour unrest and called for a Multistakeholder meeting to dispassionately take a closer look at the SSSS and matters evolving.

Recently we have had time together with NUGS Executives and some SRCs to meet and discuss the issue. We met the Legon UTAG President who briefed us on the meeting they had and he suggested ways of resolving the impasse. He however emphasized that payments doled out to MPs had entrenched the stance of some of the UTAG Chapters. On that same faithful day, we met with the VC of Legon who was sure that by end of day Monday the strike may come to an end.
On Sunday, i.e. yesterday, there was a general meeting by a cross-section of student leaders at Legon to discuss the Strike action. Though NUGS had already sent a letter to Flagstaff house to stage a Peaceful Walk to the place, it was a agreed that rather a strongly worded statement be sent out by NUGS, followed by a letter of intention for demonstration to the Greater Accra Regional Police Command.
So at this juncture the student body must be ready to show their displeasure at the seemingly lack of action on the UTAG Strike, albeit we will be exploring other avenues at successfully mediating in this situation.
Thanks to you all.
