UniMAC Postpones Re-opening Of 2024/2025 Academic Year Indefinitely

The Management of the University of Media, Arts and Communication (UniMAC) has announced the indefinite postponement of the reopening date for the 2024/2025 academic year, initially set for September 30.

This comes on the back of postponement by other tertiary institutions in the wake of the ongoing strike by several tertiary workers unions.

In a statement, the management expressed regret over the inconvenience the development may cause.

However, the statement said the admission processes for prospective students will continue as scheduled.

The union, including the Teachers and Educational Workers Union (TEWU), the Senior Staff Association of Universities of Ghana (SSA-UoG), and the Federation of University Senior Staff Association of Ghana (FUSSAG) are on an indefinite strike over long-standing demands for improved working conditions.

Their concerns range from delayed pension contributions and non-payment of vehicle maintenance allowances to the suspension of certain agreed-upon allowances.
