According to press statement signed by the General Secretary of the Association, Alpha A. Shaban, the decision comes on the back of a meeting with the King of the Ga State, Mantse Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, who has promised to take the matter up to the appropriate authorities for urgent solution.

GUTA has thus called on traders who had participated in the strike action to reopen their shops today, as the Association’s leadership continues to pursue the process for immediate solution.
