UDS TEIN COMMENDS MILLS FOR RESOLVING UTAG STRIKE (PAGE 12, OCT 26, 2010)

THE University for Development Studies, Wa Campus branch of the Tertiary Educational Institutions Network (TEIN) of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has commended President J. E. A. Mills for personally intervening in the UTAG strike action.
By this, TEIN said the President had fatherly demonstrated that he was committed to the resolution of all problems in the country.
In a press statement signed by the President of the association, Mr. Mohammed Illyasu, TEIN said the action of President Mills did not amount to cowardice and bad precedent as other people perceived it but a sign of humility.
It recalled that a couple of years ago, this was not the case, especially when issues of such nature erupted, as government officials rather insulted and lambasted people who embarked on industrial actions.
“It said the future and destiny of students was in the hands of the lecturers and that when there were no lectures, students engaged in career threatening activities.
“It is our solemn belief that government on her part would also act promptly and give what was due members of UTAG so as to eliminate future occurrences,” the statement concluded.
