Drop The One Student One Laptop Policy And Build Hostels - AKIOLA AZIZ appeals to University Management.


​

The Prospective Communications Team Member of the Oppossition National Democratic Congress, Greater Accra Region and a student of the Premier University of Ghana, Aki-Ola Aziz had suggested to the Vice-Chancellor of the University Of Ghana to invest the money to purchase laptops for each student dubbed, "Operation 1 Student 1 Laptop to build halls of residence and hostels on campus. 

He opined that investing in the construction of halls and hostels will yield more dividends for the institution because entirely every student owns an electronic gadget be it a laptop, tablet, iPad or mobile phone. He considers the halls as a priority that should not be sacrificed for laptops. 

The Vice-Chancellor, during her swearing-in ceremony, borrowed this from the government which suggested procuring Laptops for tertiary students which is yet to see its implementation. 

The students have not received their share of the laptops as 350,000 basic school teachers are battling with theirs. 

The controversies generated by the procured laptops cannot be underestimated. Majority of those teachers concerned had condemned and descrinbed the Laptops as inferior and not up to standard. They had also sensed procurement breaches, and acussed the government of Ghana, GNAT, NAGRAT and CCT as the architect behind this dubious or shady deal.

"I urge the Vice Chancellor and the University Council to consider building hostels and not buying laptops in the short term",  He urged.

Source:Univers The embattled and stepped aside Chairperson of the UGSRC Electoral Commission has registered his unqualified apology to the office of the Dean of Students' Affairs and the other mambers of the University Community for his untenable behaviour towards the Dean and the entire populace of the university,following his leaked tape. His miscalculated and unguided correspondence to the Dean escalated tensions, amidsts his recent communication with UGSRC Presidential Aspirants on a possible pair between aspirants. The Whistle Blower had cited a letter of apology dated August 6th, 2024 to the office of the Dean of Students' Affairs, rending an unreserved apology to her and the general university community. The letter comes as refreshing moment to critics of the EC who had grilled him for his actions and inactions relating to the 2024 UGSRC Elections.

Enough Of The Funfairs

It has become noticeable that the Tsikata-Zanyoh-led  UGSRC is more of a funfair without recourse to their policies tabled during the run-up to the SRC Campaign the previous year.  We have, and continue to witness only seminars and entertainment programs setting aside cutting-edge programs and projects that would contribute to the development needs of students. Most importantly, breaking away from their policy focus and direction. The most bizarre and absurd is the secular and photages of the SRC President and his team popped up on various social media handles purported to have met with KNUST SRC Secretary and other executives to strengthen ties and consolidate support for mutual benefit, assuming a role that is coterminous with that of NUGS President. Unless the motive behind is that he intends to contest for NUGS Portfolio. This stunning gesture has caused euphoria, with some students anticipatingthe SRC President continuing his tour to UCC, Winneba, and UDS among others. Th...

You Spoke Out Of Sheer Arrogance & Ignorance Abigail Elorm Akwambia

The Indefatigable Deputy National Women Organizer of the National Democratic Congress, Abigail Elorm Akwambia, with the prospect of forming government in 2025 has taken a swipe, slam and call on the bluff of the Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East,Hawa Koomson who happens to be the then Minister for Special Initiative and the incumbent minister for Fishries and Acqua-Culture. In the presser the Deputy Women Organiser admitted that this has been the routine behaviour of Hawa Koomson and his NPP apparatchiks; only adds up to his earlier unsavoury remarks about the youth and netizens, and addressed her as dishonourable Member of Parliament. She lamented that the dishourable MP should have admonish the plight of the ordinary Ghanaian, that was least expected of her. She also consoled the teeming unemployed youth to acknowledge the 24 hour economy proposed by John Mahama and the NDC and urged them to be calm as the next NDC government will seek their interest and ddress their need...

I Beg To Differ On Lawyer John's Demise

  Lawyer John Kumah    The question I ask myself is why is it that there are always serial killings in the New Patriotic Party? I found no reason why there should be murder associated with the NPP. If we could reset our memory to the death of Adams Mahama of the Upper East Region in 2015 which led to the apprehension of Asabke Alangdi and Gregory culminated in the suspension of his brother, Paul Afoko as National Chairperson of the New Patriotic Party then opposition party, then we could now understand why the NPP is seen in connection with killings. Chairman Adams was attacked and a substance believed to be acid was poured on him, which led to his demise. Poncing on it over and over again, I couldn't fathom why they should incarcerate one of their own affable persons. I keep wondering why the gruesome murder of Joseph Boakye Danquah, then the member of Parliament for Akyem Abuakwa North who was supposed to assume the position of a flag bearer of the New patriotic part...

Dennis Appiah Larbi earns My Respect -Aki-Ola, The Whistle Blower

The NUGS president, Dennis Appiah Larbi has been acknowledged and respected by Aki-Ola Aziz, the first Special of the University of Ghana concerning his swift and divine intervention in dealing with matters of student concern. His courage in targetting the reduction in fees of students and the quest for accommodation for students. Dennis, irrespective of his political affiliation has been able to confront key personalities who have a say in the administration of the NPP, yet meet the key stakeholders, the likes of the Minister of Education, Dr. Yaw Adutwum. He is among the few student leaders who think about the interests and welfare of students.
