Damongo Nursing Training College Tutors on Strike to Demand for Allowances.

Tutors of the Damongo Nurses Training College in the Savannah Region on Wednesday morning 20th July 2022 have embarked on a strike action to demand allowance, leaving students to loiter on campus.

Though the reason for the strike has not been officially communicated by the tutors to the media but reports state they are demanding the payment of allowances due them from last semester.

When the media visited the campus this morning all offices of the tutors were locked up, with none of them on campus except the academic coordinator.

Some students were seen loitering on campus while others were idling in the classrooms without lectures.

The principal of the school, Hajia Rabiatu Iddrisu who had just arrived from Tamale said she was yet to ascertain the reason for the strike and will communicate the same to the media afterward.

Students who will not speak on record say they hope authorities will resolve the issue as soon as possible for classes to resume.

The school reopened from a break last week and only on Monday 18th July started classes for the semester only to hear that their tutors are on strike.
