The Coalition of Unpaid Teachers has announced plans to embark on an indefinite protest at the Ministry of Finance beginning Wednesday, April 15, 2026, if government fails to present a clear roadmap for settling their salary arrears.

National Organiser of the group, Eugene Zoranu Segbefia, disclosed the decision in an interview on Joy FM’s Top Story, citing prolonged delays in payments affecting members across the country.

According to him, some teachers have worked for between seven and 18 months without receiving salaries, raising concerns about their welfare and the government’s commitment to its obligations.

“We have teachers who have worked between seven and 18 months without salaries. As we speak, we don’t even know whether the government will fulfil its obligation to us,” he said.

Mr Segbefia noted that although the coalition has engaged key stakeholders, including the Ghana Education Service and the Ministry of Education, no concrete payment timeline has been communicated.

He explained that while authorities indicated that a memo had been exchanged between the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance, the lack of progress remains troubling.

“The Minister listened to our concerns and promised to expedite the process. But as we speak, we are only seeing recruitment ongoing, while those of us already working have not been paid,” he added.

The coalition has also questioned the government’s priorities, arguing that it is unjust to recruit new teachers while those already in the system remain unpaid.

“We are already in the classrooms working, yet we are not being paid. Why recruit more teachers when you cannot even pay those already in the system?” he queried.

Mr Segbefia further expressed frustration over what he described as disparities in the treatment of public sector workers, noting that nurses who underwent similar processes are expected to begin receiving arrears from April.

The group had earlier given the government a deadline of April 12, 2026, to provide a payment plan. However, with no response received, the coalition says it will escalate its actions.

“Tomorrow, April 15, we are hitting the streets. And we are not leaving anytime soon,” he declared.

The coalition is demanding direct engagement with top government officials, including President John Dramani Mahama, the Vice President, or the Chief of Staff, insisting the protest will continue until a clear payment plan is secured.

Mr Segbefia added that members are prepared for a prolonged demonstration, with some travelling from Kumasi and Tamale to join the protest in Accra.

“We are coming with our belongings. Some colleagues are travelling from Kumasi and Tamale. We are prepared to sleep at the Ministry of Finance until we get a payment plan. That is the last thing we will do,” he stated.

The WahAngela Kingdom has officially unveiled T.H.E. B.L.A.C.K.W.O.O.D Worldwide Institute of Change, introducing what it describes as a fully accredited lifetime PhD program built on the foundation of Cramer Courses.

The historic launch took place at the Accra Metropolitan Assembly on Thursday, March 26, 2026, drawing a significant gathering of high-profile dignitaries, key stakeholders, and traditional leaders.

The newly introduced institute is positioned as a global platform for transformational leadership, intellectual empowerment, and societal change. According to organisers, the program aims to redefine conventional academic pathways by offering a lifetime PhD structure, designed to combine academic excellence with real-world impact.

Built on Cramer Courses, the initiative emphasises continuous learning, leadership development, and practical application of knowledge beyond traditional classroom systems.

The launch event was marked by a strong show of support from influential figures across various sectors. Traditional authorities, institutional stakeholders, and guests gathered to witness what has been described as a groundbreaking milestone in alternative education and global leadership training.

The presence of such a diverse and high-level audience underscored the significance of the initiative and its potential to influence both local and international academic landscapes.

With the successful launch of the institute, the WahAngela Kingdom continues to expand its footprint in areas of education, leadership, and humanitarian impact.

As interest grows, the initiative is expected to attract participants from across Africa and the diaspora, positioning Ghana as a hub for alternative, impact-driven academic advancement.

Veteran Ghanaian actor Paa George has dismissed rumours circulating on social media claiming that he has died, describing the reports as false and malicious.

Speaking in an exclusive interview on Max FM’s Drive time show with Kumi Kasa, the seasoned actor revealed that he first heard about the alleged death from a friend who called him early in the morning to confirm the news.

According to Paa George, the caller repeatedly mentioned his name to ensure he was truly speaking to him.

“It was early in the morning that someone called me, and he mentioned my name, ‘Paa’, and I answered. He called my name again, and I responded. He asked, ‘Paa, is that you?’ I said yes and asked if he was okay,” he recounted.

The friend then informed him that social media platforms were awash with reports claiming he was dead.

“I asked what was going on, and he said it was all over social media that I am dead,” the actor stated.

Paa George expressed frustration over what he described as the third false death announcement about him. He indicated that such rumours have been intentionally spread over a long period, largely because he has chosen not to confront those behind them.

“I told them they are all sick. This is the third time they are announcing that I’m dead. They do that because I don’t confront them,” he said.

While acknowledging that death is inevitable for everyone, the veteran actor said he was pained by the repeated false reports about his demise.

“Everyone is going to die; however, I’m in pain because it is not yet my time. So if you wish death for me, death will come for you,” he added.
