170 Savannah College Staff Strike Over Payroll Delay
About 170 teaching and non-teaching staff at the Savannah College of Education in Daboya have withdrawn their services, saying they will not return until the government takes concrete steps to place them on its payroll. The staff, represented by CETAG and CENTSAG, say that despite the college’s absorption into Ghana’s public Colleges of Education system in March 2025, they have received no government-paid salaries and have no clear timeline for payroll migration. They argue that unresolved pay, recruitment and employment arrangements are harming staff welfare and disrupting the college’s administration. Staff contrasted their situation with student support introduced after the transition, including allowances and fee assistance, and say the benefits of public status have not extended to the workforce.
