Ferdinand | EducationGhana | November 15 |GNAT Suspends Distribution of Union Cloth Nationwide With Immediate Effect

The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) has suspended the ongoing distribution of its official GNAT cloth across all regions and districts, citing an urgent internal directive issued on November 13, 2025.

GNAT Issues Urgent Directive to Halt Cloth Distribution

The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) has issued a new directive suspending the ongoing distribution of its official GNAT cloth across the country. The directive, signed by Deputy General Secretary Daniel Affadu on behalf of the General Secretary, takes immediate effect.The internal communication, dated November 13, 2025, was addressed to all Regional and District Secretaries of the association. GNAT instructed its officers to stop the distribution process without delay and to treat the directive as urgent.

Details of the Suspension

In the circular, GNAT expressed the decision in clear terms, directing: “Suspend the ongoing distribution of the GNAT cloth with immediate effect.”Although the circular did not provide reasons for the suspension, the urgent tone signals an internal reassessment of the process or a need to address emerging concerns. GNAT has not yet issued a public explanation, leaving members awaiting additional guidance from national leadership.The notice was copied to the National President of GNAT, affirming that the directive was sanctioned at the highest level of the union’s leadership.

Implications for Members Across Regions

The suspension affects thousands of union members who were expecting to receive the GNAT cloth, which is typically distributed as part of welfare and identity initiatives for teachers. Regional and district offices had already commenced various stages of distribution before the directive was issued.Until GNAT issues further clarification, all local offices are expected to halt the process entirely. The association has urged strict compliance to maintain uniformity in administrative procedures and avoid any discrepancies across regions.

What Comes Next

Teachers and union members are advised to await an official follow-up communication from the national secretariat. GNAT is expected to address the next steps, including new timelines, reasons for the suspension, or alternative arrangements.The association has recently been involved in several internal reforms and national negotiations, prompting expectations that the suspension may relate to broader organisational decisions.
