If the government doesn't pay the agreed-upon Book and Research stipend, the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) has threatened to stop providing its services.
The union leaders have in previous months engaged government over an amount they deem fit for the research allowance.
Speaking at a press conference in Accra, the President of UTAG, Professor Solomon Nunoo, implored the government to amongst other demands pay the book and research allowance to aid lecturers in effectively discharging their duties.
“This continued delay is causing unnecessary apprehension on the various campuses.”
The employer should remember that we are in the new academic year, for which reason continuous delay in the payment is unacceptable.”
UTAG further accused the government of “evasive excuses” during its enquiries on the allowances.
“If they don't follow their agreement with us, we will speak the language that readily penetrates their mentality in a week, Prof. Nunoo said.
