via GhanaWeb3 hours ago1 min read
Unpaid teachers gathered at Obra Spot in Accra on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, to protest months of salary arrears and administrative delays. The educators chanted the names of John Dramani Mahama and Haruna Iddrisu, stating, “Mahama, you owe us; Haruna, you owe us. No matter what you do, you still owe us.” The protest highlighted grievances over unpaid salaries for up to 17 months and delays in issuing staff identification numbers. Eugene Zoranu Segbefia, National Organiser of the Coalition of Unpaid Teachers, announced plans for an indefinite protest at the Ministry of Finance, Ghana, if the government does not provide a clear payment plan. Segbefia reported that some teachers have worked between seven and 18 months without pay and expressed uncertainty about the government fulfilling its obligations. He also noted that multiple engagements with stakeholders, including the Ghana Education Service and the Ministry of Education Ghana, have not resulted in a clear timeline for payment.
