The Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG) has declared a nationwide strike, a move set to ground administrative activities across the country.
Effective Monday, March 9, 2026, all members of the Civil and Local Government Services have been directed to stay at home until further notice.
The announcement follows a formal notice issued by the National Executive Council (NEC) on February 19, 2026.
According to a press statement signed by Executive Secretary Isaac Bampoe Addo, the decision to lay down tools stems from unresolved grievances between the association and the government.
The directive is clear and applies to the Office of the Head of Civil Service (OHCS), the Office of the Head of Local Government Service (OHLGS), and all Regional Secretariats and local members nationwide.
”All staff of the Civil Service and Local Government Service are enjoined to stay at home with effect from Monday, 9th March, 2026, until further notice,” Mr. Bampoe Addo maintained in the statement.
As the backbone of Ghana’s bureaucratic machinery, a total walkout by CLOGSAG members signals significant delays in public service delivery.
From administrative tasks at various Ministries to local government operations at District and Municipal Assemblies, the “stay at home” order is expected to halt essential government functions.
The association’s rallying cry echoed through the official correspondence, signaling a resolute stance as members demand that “unresolved issues” likely centered on conditions of service be addressed immediately.
The government has yet to issue a formal response to the declaration.
However, with the clock ticking toward Monday, pressure is mounting for a resolution to prevent a total shutdown of the administrative sector.
