According to the professor, universities should serve as solutions to problems and not places for organizing strikes.

Speaking to the media, Professor Isaac Boadi stated, “I am very disappointed in UTAG. I am not proud to be associated with the association at this moment. Galamsey has been a long-standing issue, and while we understand the consequences, we must also recognize the government’s efforts to address it. This is a complex problem that cannot be solved overnight”.

“Has any university in Ghana presented a proposal to the government on how to combat galamsey? We have not offered any solutions to this illegal mining activity. We should focus on finding solutions, not resorting to strikes,” he emphasized.

The Professor also questioned why UTAG often resorts to strikes at the least issue, he quizzed, “Which universities outside Ghana use strikes to address their challenges? They find solutions without adding to the problem. Professors and lecturers in European countries do not wear red armbands for demonstrations. Why should our system be different?”

He further added that UTAG-UPSA is not participating in the strike because their priority is the well-being of their students.

Meanwhile, the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) has declared an indefinite strike, since October 10, 2024, following an overwhelming vote in favor of industrial action to support a nationwide ban on mining and prospecting activities in ecologically sensitive areas.
