I Foresee Brighter Prospects in Asumadu & Ndukwe led Administration

The prospects of Asumadu and Wisdom Ndukwe led administration has been the one that many students anticipate. However long it takes, the mandate has been been given to them. 

Upon resumption to office, we have seen their Swift intervention in organising a meeting with the sellers at the Lecturers and staff markets ( Night Market) discussing the recent hikes in commodity prices. The recent increase in consumables and foodstuff is alarming, unwarranted and worrying. We cannot fathom why every blessed day's provisions prices are inflating. Extorsions at diaspora halls are uncalled for and not guaranteed. We are keenly aware of their intervention, and hoping that the Asumadu- Ndukwe led governance would expedite the unfailing effort to deal with such menace confronting us.

Indeed, governance is continuous we have seen that the duo has taken the trend of mobilising students for a seminar. This has been a programme that virtually every administration embarks on to sensitize students on matters of concern. I don't want to believe if that is a budget target expedition to meet their budget expectations by soliciting sponsorship for such programmes.

In the week, we have witnessed several reshufflings just a few weeks since the whistleblower 360 published the news item about the humble appeal to the USRC President to embark on the reshuffling of Committee heads.

Notwithstanding the appointments, I would like to bring to their attention for them to take notice that there are no committees available; be they a standing or Adhoc committees. No single individual had been appointed as a committee member. I believe that should be done following the appointments of deputy committee heads. The leadership of the UGSRC should also take notice of the appointment being a virtually one-sided appointment. 

Per the timeframe, it would be extremely difficult for this administration to meet its demands and expectations since the first semester is at its apogee. Many level three hundred students are expressing their interest to run for the position of the SRC, while JCR elections and departmental elections are currently ongoing. They have one semester more to go. 

Despite the frustrations and anxiety characterised by the elections and swearing-in, there is hope for students. 

We wouldn't want to demand more from them. What we expect is that they should fulfil their promises and account for their stewardship at the end of their tenure. Responsibility and accountability are what we shall demand at the end of their tenure. 

A blend of leadership should come with unique ideas and opportunities. If they should fail it would serve as a bad precedent and an adventure that no student will be willing to embark on. That precedent will be an unprofitable and unlucrative venture for students to follow. 

One most welcoming idea that I support and would embark on in the future is the "SRC Digital Communication Module" dubbed " The SRC This Week" aimed at bringing the accountability gap between the SRC and the student; as well as bringing the SRC to the doorsteps of the students.

If the promises are fulfilled, there will be a light at the end of the tunnel.

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...

GENERAL ASSEMBLY SPEAKER WARNS SRC EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The newly elected speaker of the University of Ghana General Assembly and also former SRC Vice Presidential Aspirant, Ahmad Ramzy has given a sound of caution to the President of the Students' Representative Council, Martin Gyasi Boakye, and his Vice President, Emmanuel Boakye Lincoln to consider the Constitution of the Council in the selection and appointment of its executives for the 65th Administration. He cited that there is a provision in the constitution that enjoins the General Assembly to appoint or approve the entire membership of committees and not just heads of committees. The communique signed speaker conveys that G.A. is entitled to appoint and approve the heads and members of the audit board. He warns them against old aged legacy appointments made by the executives of those special appointments within the purview of the G.A His motives are to ensure transparency, and also value for money within the SRC.

Petition Seeking for Extension in Academics Unnecessary; What is needed by students is accomodation

Following a petition by Master Rahman Yusif, Deputy Academic Affairs Committee Head who doubles as the candidate for Elizabeth Francis Sey Hall JCR Presidential position to the UGSRC, copied to the President asked for an immediate intervention for an extension of teaching and learning.The petition was delayed, it supposed to have come earlier than before. I am of the firm conviction that the petition was motivated by his desire to contest for the JCR Presidential position. The students believe that having been mandated as the Deputy Academic Affairs Head, the Academic Affairs should have come out with a communique rather seeking to provide the road map and pragmatic steps through the Committee by the UGSRC, intervening on behalf of students to the Accademic Affairs. we took notice of the UGSRC's communique appended by the president and copied the Speaker of General Assembly and Radio Univers. The release informed the petitioner that the UGSRC had already taken notice of the sit...
