The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) announced on October 29 that it has suspended its recent strike aimed at tackling the crisis of illegal mining, or “galamsey,” in the country.

This decision was made following a nationwide vote by UTAG members, signalling a collective resolve to continue the fight against galamsey through alternative legal means.

UTAG leaders emphasized the environmental harm and social disruption caused by galamsey, which has impacted water bodies, ecosystems, and the livelihoods of many communities across Ghana.

“Suspending the strike was not an easy decision,” UTAG’s statement noted, acknowledging the seriousness of the cause.

The association reiterated its commitment to advocating for policies and actions that protect the country’s natural resources.

While UTAG acknowledges potential disappointment among those who supported the strike, they cited the interests of students and parents as key factors influencing the decision to explore other ways to address the issue.

The association assured the public that it would remain dedicated to ending illegal mining practices and holding accountable those who exploit Ghana’s resources unlawfully.

In closing, UTAG expressed gratitude to its members for their active engagement and confirmed its unwavering dedication to environmental stewardship, sustainable development, and preserving Ghana’s land and resources for future generations.
