NUGS GENERAL SECRETARY DESERVES COMMENDATION

​ Master Anthony Kwame Julius, the General Secretary for the National Union of Ghana Student-NUGS needs to be commended for his dexterity in coming out with a presser to substantiate and dissociate the Union from the claims made by the President of the Union, Yiadom Boakye earlier this week to endorse the Budget Statement and Economic Policy for the 2022 Financial Year. The National Secretariat together with the office of the executive committee had issued a presser to disclaim or disown the president and his cohorts press conference, that those views and opinions expressed by them do not represent those of the union, and should be treated with the contempt it deserves. Earlier this week, thus, on Wednesday, the Minister for finance had presented a budget statement before parliament for consideration, adoption and approval for the 2022 financial and fiscal year. The content in the budget had received a backlash and condemnation from the public, especially on the introduction of the ele

DEMONSTRATION LOOMS UNIVERSITY OF GHANA

Junior Common Members of the University of Ghana would be embarking on a protest today, Sunday 21st November 2021 at 7:00 AM to register their displeasure against the deliberate delay of the transition of power by the Dean of Students Affairs, Professor GodfredAlufa Bokpin. The demonstration would commence at the almighty Balme Library and across the nook and cranny of the main campus. The rationale behind this protest is the suspicion of students that the dean and some high profile personnel are attempting to overturn the outcome of the results by recommending to cancel results of some particular polling stations. The general student's body is suspecting that the committee would call for the cancellation of the entire results of the UGSRC elections and order for fresh election by the committee. They could probably also suggest that some polling stations results be nullified as stated earlier to favour particular candidates, which they believe would favour Samuel Amos Ofosu, alias

ALLEGED MANIPULATIONS OF THE SYSTEM BY UGCS IN TODAYS' UGSRC ELECTIONS

Information reaching us is an attempt by the  University of Ghana Computing System (UGCS)  to manipulate the system to favour specific candidates and factions in today’s UGSRC Elections. “In every rumour there is a little bit of truth”, An anonymous student of the Premier University had told Walkingencyclopaedia360. We believe it will continue to be speculations and an unfounded allegation. The EC had proposed for an Online voting system for Level 100’s and 400’s and an onsite face-to-face voting for Level 200’s and 300’s for today’s UGSRC Elections. The Electoral Commission of UGSRC had proposed for 2 phases and had tabled before the Executive Committee of UGSRC for further debates, deliberation and balloting which had successfully been done. The EXCOM had favour the UGCS against the open of tender to private Information Technology systems.  The students body had all endorsed you for your track record in previous UGSRC Elections. We have believed in the efficient delivery in ensuring

GNPC, GETFUND, SCHOLARSHIP SECRETARIAT AND STUDENT LOAN TRUST FUND A MERE FIASO

The default in payment of scholarships and student loan by the National Scholarship Secretariat and the Students’ Loan Trust Fund is a matter of public concern. President Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo had promised to award scholarships to students who had enrolled in the various tertiary education in the country. He had asked the Secretariat and other awarding bodies to award scholarships to students who excelled in the 2020 West African Senior School Certificate Examinations. He made this order after the release of the WASSCE results. This had remained a fiasco, as Secretariat and other awarding scholarship institutions such as GNPC scholarship scheme, Get Fund scholarship, among others had manipulated and delayed the processes leading to their award. The awardees had run helter skelter to look else where for loans to foot their fees. Some had also solicited loans from financial institutions with an accumulated interest rates. This does not auger well for studies at the tertiary level.

Breaking the Eight History, Data And Science do not support it.

The recent contemplation by the leadership of the ruling New Patriotic Party has challenged themselves to break the eight years agenda of which facts, data, figures and statistics doesn't augment. The President in an address with his party faithfuls during the aniversary of the party he runned on its ticket, had assured party supporters the NPP will break the eight years record which had ensured between the major opposition party the National Democratic Congress and the New Patriotic Party.  So far leadership of the two main parties had expressed their take on the matter. The vice President of the republic had given same assurance. This messaged had come across the political space during the 2016 electioneering campaign when an incumbent President, John Dramani Mahama gave an assurance to the NDC to break the eight, with his popular "JM Toaso" slogan. It was quite unfortunate to have had the ousted of a vice president who had won on the ticket of his party s a president f

If you die for the party, the party will die for you _ John Dramani Mahama

His Excellency John Mahama His Excellency John Mahama, the former President of the Republic had declared that whoever works for the National Democratic Congress to win future elections would be equally  awarded. He had lamented that when you die for the NDC, the NDC will die for you. This message had gone down with the rank and file of the party; the party foot soldiers who were in higher or greater anticipation to hear this. Mr. Mahama, we believe has turned the table round and diverted attention to serve party faithfuls and sympathizers first before any other interest. We believe is a step in the right direction and the best approach which will go down well with the good citizens of the country looking at what the New Patrotic Party is doing when it comes to recruitment, employment and contracts and many more. They award base on partisan interest and not on merit. The NDC will award base on loyalty and hardwork and on merit unlike others are awarding. It seems the father for all synd

Alleged!!! Upper West Akim MP denied constituent who voted him to power during car clash between the duo

 Information reaching walking encyclopaedia360 is the allegation that Honourable Fredrick Adom Obeng, incumbent Member of Parliament for the  Upper West Akim constituency, Adeiso who doubles as the second deputy Minister for Transport has denied knowledge of a superb within his constituency when a gentleman from his constituency had a crash with his vehicle with that of the honourable member. The honourable member demanded an amount of ten thousand Ghana cedis from the gentleman in question after he had cried to the MP that he hails from his constituency. He had told the guy that he does not know Obinimda where he had campaigned for votes during the 2020 election year. We have no issue with the money he took from the gentleman, however, our problem is a denial of the constituent and the community he solicited for votes. Is he a true representative of his constituents? Perhaps may be he never believed the guy hails from his constituency. The honourable member should refund the money if

He made this profound statement to buttress his stance on his recent pronouncement that, the 2024 general elections are going to be ‘Do or die'. He had declared his stance that this does not translate into ‘All die be die', as the incumbent president, President Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo,  made us believe in the run-up to the 2016 general elections. The rank and file of his party and scores of Ghanaians had commended him for affirming his stance and taking steps to prevent possible rig of the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.  He had condemned what he for seen as bias on the part of the Supreme Court in manipulating the ruling of the 2020 petition he filed against the Electoral Commission. He had assured that he would not resort to the court for redress as he i

AN OPEN LETTER TO HIS EXCELLENCY JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA

John Mahama Dear Mr. President, First and foremost, let me commend you for your bold, firm, and resolute decision that the 2024 General Elections, both Presidential and Parliamentary are going to be “Do or die affairs. The rank and file of the party, the party's foot soldiers, the grassroots, the supporters of the great party (The Great Akatamansonia), and the good people of Ghana, (the masses) resonate with you on your pronouncement that, the 2024 election is a “Do or die” and not “All die be die”. We shall be vigilant at the various polling stations across the length and breadth of the country. “Do or die”  means the ability to take risks to avoid failure. We have consulted our dictionaries and the meaning is the same. “Do or die is not news, it has been in our statements since time immemorial, on several countless occasions. The rationale behind the “Do or die” pronouncement, as we are all aware translates to vigilance. We do not need a lecturer to translate it for us or give
