The Ghana Association of University Administrators has called a nationwide strike effective August 10, 2026, over disparities in market premium and allowances between teaching and non-teaching senior members in public universities. The decision was announced at GAUA's 2026 National Congress in Sunyani, where the newly sworn-in National President cited undervaluation of administrators' contributions to remuneration decisions.
The Right to Information Commission has imposed an administrative penalty of GH¢20,000 on 254 public institutions, including the Ghana Police Service, all five teaching hospitals, major public universities, and security agencies, for failing to submit their 2025 Right to Information annual reports as required by law.
Ghana is confronting a double climate risk: recovering from devastating June floods across southern cities while a strengthening El Niño threatens below-normal rainfall and early-ending rains for the rest of the year. Damage from recent floods across Greater Accra, Cape Coast, Kumasi and other areas is estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars, with the government releasing GH¢300 million from its Contingency Fund for immediate response.
The Wenchi Zonal Director of the Fisheries Commission says illegal mining around water bodies, particularly at the Bui Dam Reservoir, is causing fish production to decline in the Bono Region. She attributed the decline to chemicals used by illegal miners that have exterminated fish and affected water quality, and called for stronger law enforcement to curb galamsey activities.
The Deputy Bono Regional Director of the NCCE told a forum on accountability in Sunyani that Ghanaians should remain law-abiding, and leaders must uphold ethical standards and transparency. He said respect for the rule of law is critical to democracy and national development.
A landfill on the Sunyani Technical University campus, located 2.6 kilometres from Sunyani Airport, is attracting large numbers of birds and poses an aviation safety risk, according to GACL. International standards require landfill sites to be at least 13 kilometres away from airports.
A University of Energy and Natural Resources lecturer argues that Ghana is not translating climate finance commitments into measurable outcomes on the ground, citing urban flooding in Accra as an example where US$350 million in World Bank funding has failed to prevent ongoing damage and loss of life. The problem is governance-related—involving maintenance gaps, poor land-use planning, and weak procurement oversight—rather than a funding shortage.
A climate finance expert has called for government to establish a dedicated national fund to address recurring floods, waste management challenges and other climate-related risks, proposing a National Climate Resilience and Climate Economy Infrastructure Facility by June 2027 to mobilise at least US$500million in blended finance for critical climate and environmental infrastructure.
Climate experts warn that weak land-use planning, poor enforcement of regulations, and aging infrastructure are leaving Accra communities vulnerable to recurring floods, with a governance and land-use planning expert at UENR noting that many flood mitigation projects focus too heavily on infrastructure procurement while neglecting community resilience.
President John Dramani Mahama received a delegation from the Bono Regional House of Chiefs and assured them of a significant share of road construction projects under the Government's Big Push Infrastructure Initiative, noting that the region has received a substantial allocation in Phase One and that additional roads are being scoped for Phase Two starting next year.

The Environmental Protection Authority has reiterated that open burning of waste is illegal across Ghana and warned that offenders face fines, prosecution and possible custodial sentences under existing environmental and sanitation laws. The EPA says enforcement power rests with environmental health officers, though effective enforcement depends partly on inconsistent public reporting.
