The National Union of Ghana Students has played an enviable role in the
democratic dispensation of this country and recognizes its
responsibility to conscientize the nation on the virtues of productive
citizenry.
In this respect, we the Ghanaian students actively
witnessed the height of the test of the Ghanaian Judicial Service with
the recent election petition case brought forward by Nana Addo Danquah
Akufo-Addo.
The petition
exposed enormously the inequities in our electoral process which likely
affected the individual and collective will of the Ghanaian people at
the polls. The petition also provided a sustainable framework to settle
disputes sparked out of Presidential Elections in Ghana.
The
then candidate, Akufo-Addo resisted the character assassination by his
political detractors and with stoicism demonstrated his intense affinity
to the democracy he fought for during the dictatorial era of coup
d'états and finally the selfless contribution of same in the
promulgation of the 1992 constitutional democratic process. He accepted
the verdict of the Supreme Court in good faith and encouraged the
Ghanaian people to endeavor to a path that builds.
On the 11th
of October at Erata Hotel, we welcome the good conscience of the
Ghanaian people to join the students of Ghana to confer on Nana Addo
Danquah Akufo-Addo, the highest award of the students of Ghana in the
47-year history of NUGS.
We are hopeful that there is more for
him to contribute to the Ghanaian people and the coming years offer
enough avenue for him to contribute his quota in the development and
governance of Ghana. NUGS wishes him well.
NUGS through this
medium also calls on Government to relinquish the burden imposed on
students by the recent rise in utility prices and also water especially
at the time that the economy seems to be in a bad shape. We therefore
endorse the demonstration of the Progressive Peoples Party (PPP) to drum
home the demand in cutting these unfavorable prices hikes.
