Polys likely to close as POTAG – Labour Commission negotiations fail

Some polytechnics are likely to close due to on-going strike by the Polytechnic Teachers Association of Ghana (POTAG), the President of the Ghana National Union of Polytechnic Students, Sulemana Hakim has confirmed.
Speaking to Radio Ghana, Mr Hakim said quite a sizeable number of students have left for home while others are engaged in various other activities.
Students hit the streets on Wednesday to protest against the long-running strike and other government policies. He added that students are hopeful that government would listen to their plight.
Meanwhile, the president of POTAG, James Dugrah, confirmed the Association’s decision to continue with the strike since negotiations with the National Labour Commission have failed.
