The National Labour Commission (NLC) has summoned the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) and the Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA) to hear the dispute between the parties.

The Association said the directive must be promptly suspended until GTEC had constructively engaged all stakeholders.
