“Government has acted in in good faith and is ever willing to continue negotiations with UTAG. We want due process to be followed and I have given them an assurance that if today they call off the strike, I wouldn’t mind asking that we lock ourselves in the room and make sure that we finish negotiations before we come out.

Meanwhile, the Ranking member on the Education Committee of Parliament, Mr Peter Nortsu-Kotoe has revealed that the UTAG has agreed in principle call off their strike.
