UER: Disappointed gov’t workers locked up CLOGSAG office over malnourished 4% increment
As shocking as it was, angry public sector workers in the Upper East Region with one voice have locked up the regional office of CLOGSAG to avoid leadership from getting entry into the office. According to the angry workers, they are not pleased with the proposed 4% salary increment by the government as they blamed their executives for a disappointing negotiation on their behalf. CLOGSAG and other worker’s unions in Ghana were engaged in a negotiation table with the government, the earlier proposed demand was a 15% salary increment for 2021/2022 but the government declined their request and rather proposed a 4% increment and this development has brought several agitations by workers unions. NOTICE ON PREMISES OF CLOGSAG BY AGGRIEVED WORKERS At exactly 6:00am, some aggrieved public sector workers stormed the offices of the civil and local government staff Association to prevent the executives from getting access to the office. However, the angry workers also pasted a notice in the front gate of the office, as they stated the action taken by the workers directing their executives to go back for better negotiation with the government on their salaries increment.

E/R: Man with machete storms Presby School at Manya Krobo to attack teacher
A man wielding a machete on Wednesday, August 11, 2021, stormed the Kodjonya Millennium Presbyterian Junior High School in the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality in the Eastern region in an attempt to attack a teacher. The teacher of the school according to reports is undertaking his National Service. He earlier this week rebuked a form one Junior High School student in his class over misconduct. The student who had signed a bond of good behavior with three others for previous misconduct informed his brother that the teacher had scolded him. Subsequently, the brother of the student rushed to the school the following day and entered the class of the teacher before locating and sitting beside his brother. The teacher engaged the man and asked him to go out but he refused. Not having any of the behaviour of the man, the teacher rather walked out of the class and went out of the school. As a result, when the machete-wielding man pulled up in an attempt to attack him, he was nowhere to be found. Subsequently, the teachers in the school boycotted teaching to show support for the colleague teacher. After jointly working together, the Parent-Teacher Association, School Management Committee, and the chiefs and elders in the community have had the man arrested. Meanwhile, the teachers of the school are being engaged to resume their duties on Monday, August 16, 2021. —modernghana Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.

Former Minister of Food and Agriculture under Mahama’s government, Alhaji Muniru Limuna has hinted former President John Dramani Mahama will soon announce his comeback to lead the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to the 2024 general elections. Alhaji Limuna who is an avid confidant of the former President made this known at Busunu in the West Gonja Municipality of the Savannah Region when he honored an invitation from a youth group calling itself Friends of Alhaji Muniru (FOAM) to cut a cake to commemorate his 54th birthday. According to him, former President Mahama is the ultimate candidate who can win power for the NDC to rescue Ghanaians from the mess and hardship Akufo-Addo government has forced them to endure. He urges well-meaning Ghanaians to see the comeback of former President John Mahama as victory again for those who meant well for the country and the future of the young ones who must succeed. The vociferous Alhaji Limuna who is very critical of the Nana Addo-Bawumia led administration while disclosing the comeback of John Mahama to the over thousand people gathered to grace his birthday celebration pledged to contribute his quota to recapture the lost seats in the Region. Last week, John Dramani Mahama hinted at contesting the Presidential seat in 2024 after his ‘He who loses a fight, fights another day’ message to Voltarians. The leading figure of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) said this when he presented building materials and other relief items to victims of a recent tidal waves disaster in Agavedzi in the Ketu South constituency of the Volta Region. “Let us not be disappointed and discouraged. They say he who fights and loses lives to fight another day. “What we have to do is to focus on the party: selecting a flag bearer to lead us again and I’m sure by 2024, by the grace of God, NDC will come back to office,” the former President emphasized. —modernghana Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.

NABCO “Disregard any “noise maker” who doesn’t have youth (NABCO Trainees) at heart”, NABTAG National President
President of Nabco Trainees Association Ghana Opoku Dennis Katakyie has admonished Nabco Trainees to disregard what he described as a “noise maker” who doesn’t have the youth at heart. After the President’s pronouncement of making NABCO beneficiaries permanent by the end of October 2021, the Executive Director of Liberty and Policy Innovation (ILAPI), Peter Bismark Kwofie, came out with a press statement saying the government’s decision to give Nation Builders Corp beneficiaries permanent employment is an unwise financial decision. According to Mr. Bismark Kwofie, he sees no Justifiable reason to maintain the Nation Builders Corp beneficiaries since it defeats the purpose of establishing the scheme. However, he thinks giving NABCO beneficiaries permanent employment is a waste of public funds and political tools to win votes. Meanwhile, his views have not gone well with beneficiaries as they described him as a ‘NOISE MAKER’ who doesn’t have any youth (NABCO TRAINEES) at heart. However, in a Facebook post sighted by Apexnewsgh.com on the Nabco Trainees Association of Ghana (NABTAG) Facebook page, the President of NABTAG Opoku Dennis Katakyie has admonished beneficiaries to disregard any unfortunate statement from any “noise maker” who doesn’t have the youth (Nabco Trainees) at heart. He believes Nabco Trainees deserve permanent employment and trainees are confident with the assurance given by His Excellency President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo during his visit to a radio station in Sunyani.
