Ghanaian University Staff Launch Indefinite Nationwide Strike

Ghanaian University Staff Embark on Indefinite Nationwide Strike University lecturers and other senior staff in Ghana have begun an indefinite nationwide strike. This action follows months of unfulfilled promises by the government regarding a previously agreed upon contract. The strike, which commenced on May 21st, 2025, has brought academic activities to a standstill across the country. The decision to strike was announced publicly by representatives of the university staff. One speaker stated, "This strike is not an act of defiance, but a last resort in response to an entrenched culture of broken promises." The video shows the staff gathered, holding signs and microphones, expressing their disappointment and determination. The government has yet to issue a formal response to the strike. The situation is expected to escalate unless a resolution is reached quickly. The impact on students and the academic calendar remains uncertain. The strike highlights ongoing challenges in the relationship between the Ghanaian government and its university system.
