The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG), has called for the dissolution of the board and the resignation of the top management of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT).

The association says the decision by the board and management has shown gross disregard for the sentiments and welfare of the public.

This was contained in a statement jointly signed by the President of UTAG, Professor Mahamudu Akudugu, and the Secretary of UTAG, Dr. Eliasu Mumuni.

The statement noted, “the Board and top Management of SSNIT have demonstrated bad judgement and poor corporate governance skills that significantly eroded public trust in their ability to effectively and efficiently continue carrying out their responsibilities.”

UTAG said it supports the declaration of a strike action by organised labour, but in addition to that, UTAG calling for a fresh breath in the management of SSNIT.
