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.

Where did we go wrong as students of the 21st century Ghana 🇬🇭?

Where did we go wrong as students of the 21st century in Ghana 🇬🇭? In the last 3 to 5 decades, we had student leadership strong as the hippo, brave as the lion and wise as the parrot which was vocal, competent and cunning and fought for the interest and welfare of the general student populace. Today, where are the NUGs, USAG, TTAG, the SRCs, GNUPs, TUSAGs and the likes? Indeed gone are the days where student leadership meant politics; student activism. When student leaders meant well for their members. Where struggles and toils were exchanged for prizes and awards, not cash and cheques and visa or master cards. Yesterday was bright. Today ought to be brighter and tomorrow must be the brightest. Calm your nerves down, never be perturbed we are here to fight for you. "Good name is better than riches". I prefer learning how to fish to fishing for. We fish for fish. The ultimate prize one is paid for is incumbent on the service he or she renders. We should learn to serve rat...

Stephanie Naadu's 100 Days In Office Is A Failure

Ag. University of Ghana Students' Representative Council Presid8ent, Stephanie Naadu's appointment is more of a ceremonial orientation than an administrative orientation. She was elected by the student populace as a general secretary to take records of the UGSRC and write minutes among other things. However, owing to the impasse between the two substantive UGSRC presidential candidates at the Court of Appeal, she was appointed by the school management to spearhead, supervise and steer the affairs of students within the Union Building. It is quite unfortunate for the declared winner and plaintiff, Prince Asumadu who sought redress at the Accra High Court to be sworn in as the duly elected president, which went in his favour. The respondent, the previous Chief Justice had sought for appeal at the Court of Appeal to overturn the ruling of the high court to install Samuel Amos Ofosu as the validly elected president. Stephanie Naadu has been fortunate and she needs to take advantage...

Appoint Secretaries To Comittees And Recruit Members Of The Committees To Allow Them To Operate

The President of the UGSRC should as a matter of concern appoint secretaries to the various commitees to permit them to work and function effectively and efficiently. There has been a decline in the coefficiency of the committees owing to the outstanding appointment of secretaries to the standing and adhoc committees of the UGSRC to aid in the drafting, planning, and writing of minutes, and taking records of the commitees. After frantic and dramatic swift of the assignment of Committee heads, no single person has been appointed to serve as a member on any of the substantive committee which leaves much to be questioned. The engagements of committee heads did not necessarily mean a committee had been established. The non existence of committees is worrying, disturbing and unwararranting. The President in Consultation with the Vice President and the General Secretary should masterbate and charge themselves with the appoint of the secretaries, and so direct the appropriate quarters to r...

Then proceeded to the general secretary portfolio with Emmanuella Boakyewa with much precision, Vida Minta with over confidence, Ernestona Mahama walked in gorgeously and modestly with much enthusiasm. Diana Ohene Berma storming in with a music Box playing Diana ooo Diana ooo who sat for barely 10 mins less than her contenders. Beauty who was supposed to have been the last, we were told had written to the vetting panel to recuse herself from the vetting. The presidential race saw Noah and Ambrose being first on the list,then Lincoln and Boakye,followed by Ackom and Ramzy, proceded by Curtis and Linda, and ended with Graham and Paa Kwesi.
