The current fights in the UGSRC appointment are unwarranted and of no merit as
p,olitical God-Fathers in TESCON tzurn to backbite one another and lobby for the
positions for their young boys. It has been made known that an immediate past
TESCON President and once SRC President are at loggerheads as to who gets what.
The Vice president of the UGSRC is seen more often than the UGSRC President on
Campus. Students argued that the Vice President deferred his course twice to
become the SRC president and had been a resident student of Vandal and Viking.
It is rather unfortunate that the SRC could not plead with management to tamper
justice with mercy or rescind their decision on CommonWealth and Mensah Sarbah
brouhaha with management. The President is a Medical student and does not have
ample time to steer affairs and his college they believe is far distant from the
center of administration. The major concern raised by students is how appointing
students to serve on various committees has been delayed. Some sections of
students leaderships have hinted the differences in getting their favourite
candidates appointed. Others also attest to the fact that those who played
active: roles in the Boakye-Lincoln campaign Team had been marginalized and
others rank reduced or not up to the expected position. The students noticed the
appointment of the PRO & Deputies, Chief of Staff and Deputy and Scholarship
Committee Head & Deputies. The rest remains history.
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...
