SSNIT hotel sale: UTAG calls for immediate dissolution of board, management 

The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) has demanded the immediate removal of the management and board members of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT).

UTAG criticized SSNIT for going ahead with the sale of four hotels despite public opposition, saying it undermines trust in SSNIT’s ability to manage funds transparently and prudently.

This was stated in a press release signed by UTAG President Prof. Mamudu Akudugu and General Secretary Prof. Eliasu Mumuni.

According to UTAG, the current SSNIT leadership should step down to allow for new leaders who understand the importance of managing pension funds with care, as that would restore public trust in SSNIT.

“UTAG is resolute in its unity with organised labour in this struggle to safeguard the interests of our members, the ordinary Ghanaian workers and pensioners.

“We call upon all stakeholders to acknowledge the seriousness of the situation and stand with us in demanding the fundamental principles of transparency, accountability, and integrity in managing our pension funds,” it said.
