As UTAG-UG aligns with the motion for a nationwide strike, attention now turns to the other 14 public universities, where UTAG members are yet to conduct their respective referendums. The outcome of these votes will further shape the course of action for UTAG as a whole, determining whether the nationwide strike will proceed unanimously across all institutions.
