National Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, popularly called 'Nana B', has called on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to intervene in the UTAG situation.
An Accra High Court has ordered the University lecturers to resume work after weeks on strike but the lecturers, who are calling for better conditions of service, have reportedly defied the ruling as they are still currently on strike.
According to the President of UTAG, Prof. Solomon Nunoo, they are not convinced yet to resume work as he disclosed that UTAG will file a countersuit in court tomorrow.
"Tomorrow at 1:30 pm, they will look at the substantive case to declare whether the strike is legal or illegal and also the motion to set aside the injunction ruling also has been filed...The calls coming in about the President intervening, I think it is all in the right direction. If the President will step in and intervene, fine, I think it will also help the matter but the most important thing is that the condition of service of the University teacher is extremely bad and must be dealt with," he stated in an interview with host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's ''Kokrokoo''.
Addressing the issue, Nana B is of a strong view that the UTAG impasse will be resolved when the President steps in, so calling on him to call for a meeting with the lecturers.
"I doubt these University lecturers will disrespect His Excellency the President," he emphasized.
He also advised the University lecturers to be considerate and heed the calls to go back to the classrooms saying, "if this thing drags too much, it's the students who will suffer. The young people will suffer more''.

AND YOU THINK UTAG WILL RESPECT HIM? IS HE NOT AWARE THAT THINGS ARE HARD YET HE KEEPS HIRING PRIVATE JETS AT EXORBITANT COST? WHAT MORAL RIGHT WILL HE HAVE TO TELL UTAG TO BEAR WITH HIM WHEN HE HAS ACCEPTED 79% SALARY SINCE LAST YEAR IN A PANDEMIC ERA?
