They also called on UTAG NEC to swiftly engage teams of experts (legal, labour, etc.) to fight their course.
In a statement, the leadership of UTAG said, following the stalling of negotiations with government on their Conditions of Service (CoS), which culminated in their declaration of a nationwide withdrawal of teaching and related activities among member public universities, all local branch executives were tasked by the National Executive Committee (NEC) to convene an emergency meeting to solicit the views of
members on the way forward.
The statement further said, the consensus is that the withdrawal of teaching and related activities must continue until government puts some enhanced and progressive proposals on the table.
