Management of Tamale Technical University (TaTU) says it has resolved the issues that led to a student protest on September 16, 2025, paving the way for the continuation of the semester.

In a press statement, the university acknowledged students’ right to embark on peaceful demonstrations over welfare concerns as provided in the institution’s handbook.

Management, however, expressed regret over the violent turn of events during the protest, which resulted in clashes between some students and the Ghana Police Service, leaving several students injured.

The statement signed by the Director of Public Affairs, Osman Mubarik Abu, noted that the affected students have since received treatment and have been discharged from the hospital.

TaTU management indicated that it held a meeting with student leaders and has taken “pragmatic steps” to address the concerns raised.

“The students have accepted the roadmap to addressing their concerns and have since communicated to Management to return to the classroom for the semester to continue,” the statement said.

Management also expressed appreciation to faculty, the media, the Ghana Police Service, traditional authorities, students, and other stakeholders for their cooperation in resolving the impasse.
