National President of the University Teachers' Association of Ghana (UTAG), Prof. Solomon Nunoo, has shot back at the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta for the latter's ‘there is no money to pay teachers’ remarks.
 
In a viral audio that gained traction this week, Ken Ofori-Atta is heard declaring teachers deserve ‘better’ but it’s unfortunate that government is in a tighter corner to help with their plight.
 
To the UTAG body, his claims are "unfortunate".
 
"There is no money yet they [government] have money for other things,” Prof. Solomon Nunoo said in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show, 'Ghana Montie'.
 
UTAG has agreed to suspend their seven-week-old industrial action.

This is to pave the way for a two-week negotiation with the government to begin and conclude.

The suspension is subject to the approval of UTAG members within a five-day period.

The announcement was made via a Facebook post by the General Secretary of the University of Ghana Branch of UTAG, Professor Ransford Gyampo, who said the decision to suspend the strike was reached by the UTAG National Executive Committee meeting held on Monday, February 21, 2022.
