According to him, UTAG and Government must note that, parents make expenses to keep their wards in school and so it is unfair that the expenses get wasted as students loiter around university campuses without resumption of academic work.
The president seized the opportunity to urge all students to remain calm as the Union does their very best to appeal to parties involved to resolve the impasse.
“We seize the opportunity to inform our colleague students that throughout this strike we have been engaging all key stakeholders both on the side of government (ie Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations, Fair Wages and Salaries Commission and the Ministry of Education) and UTAG Executives both National and Local to mediate the issues. We therefore urge all students to remain calm as we do our very best to appeal to parties involved to resolve this impasse”, he stated.
“is our fervent hope and prayer that the good Lord touches and softens the heart of parties involved to resolve issues amicably without thoughts of them reoccurring anything soon”. he added.
