National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) have called on President Nana Akufo-Addo, as matter of urgency to intervene in high Hostel fees being charged at the campuses of Tertiary Institutions.
They want the government to engage the management of universities in the country to review their charges.
Mr. Emmanuel Yiadom Boakye, President of NUGS said this when he led a delegation to pay a courtesy call on President Nana Akufo-Addo in the Jubilee House.
The NUGS delegation that called on the President included the NUGs President, Emmanuel Yiadom Boakye, General Secretary, Julius Anthony Kwame, Secretary for Innovation, Faithful Afrani Kesse, Secretary for International Relations, Pius Theophilus Baidoo, David Hughes, Secretary for Welfare, and Ohemaa Bediako, Secretary for Women’s Development.
“As a Union, we have made certain contacts and we have realized there are certain deliberate attempts by some University management staff just to create artificial shortage on campuses,” the NUGS President said.
“We are calling on your high office to get to the university management to be flexible on the BOT, build, operate and transfer policies in the various universities,” the NUGS president said.
