Public universities across the country are likely to be closed due to the prolonged strike by the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG).⁠ The strike, which enters its fourth week from today is likely to affect the university calendar. According to a provision in the regulations governing public universities, it states where there are no teaching activities for 31 days after academic activities are to resume, the school must be closed down.⁠

The National Labour Commission (NLC) recently sued the University Teachers Association of Ghana for continuing with the nationwide strike, indicating that the industrial action is illegal.⁠ ⁠ The President of the University of Ghana branch of the Association, Dr. Samuel Nkumbaan noted that the decision by the court on the 3rd of February will give a clear indication of what will follow.⁠
