In an earlier communique, the General Secretary indicated that, the National Council of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) noted that the GNAT PROVIDENT FUND (GPF) belongs to GNAT and has therefore directed that:

1. The Teachers Provident Fund (TPF) be reversed to its original name; GNAT PROVIDENT FUND (GPF).

This followed after the attention of the GNAT leadership has been drawn to a text message making rounds on various social media platforms asking members to nominate persons to serve as Trustees for the GNAT Provident Fund (Teachers Provident Fund).

The Association has therefore urged it rank and file to disregard the text message as leadership takes the necessary steps to issue an appropriate response.
