- Due to the Vice-Chancellor’s attempts to alter their terms of employment, the Technical University Teachers Association of Ghana (TUTAG) and Technical University Senior Administrators Association of Ghana (TUSAAG) have ceased providing their services to the university.
- The two associations disagree with the difference and claim that it is the result of incorrectly interpreting retirement benefits. In reaction to the VC’s intentions, they decided to engage in industrial action.
- They stated that everyone who served in the polytechnic system for 10 years as a TUTAG or TUSAAG member immediately qualifies as an accrued entitlement to take use of the retirement benefit.
- In support of their argument, they also referenced section 42(6) of the Technical Universities Act (2016), Act 922.
- They asked, in contrast to other technical institutions that have paid theirs on time, the immediate payment of the internal component of the Online Teaching Support Allowance (OTSA) and its accrued arrears for teaching employees that have not been paid since January 2022.
