The University Teachers Association of Ghana went on strike for seven (7) weeks in demand for better conditions of service.
Following the strike, hundreds of thousands of students across all the public universities in the country have been left stranded for more than a month.
Meetings between the National Labour Commission, the Government and the University Teachers Association of Ghana have also not produced any results and the National Labour Commission has to use the courts to compell the Lecturers to return to the classroom.
