BREAKING THE SILENCE:
Good day Honourables.
Since taking office as national executive officers of the University Students' Association of Ghana, our efforts have been geared towards the rehabilitation of the association's image after the awful events of the last congress. Having witnessed the errors of the old ways, we would be insane to repeat the errors in expectation of far superior results. We are starting afresh.
Our first task was to secure the release of the souvenirs. The better part of the 17th to 21st November, 2014 was spent on this, particularly at the Dansoman Police Station. Consequently, all other things being equal, at our first senate, the souvenirs shall be given out to the rightful institutions.
Office space has been secured through the National Union of Ghana Students at their Accra City Campus premises, awaiting renovation. Soon, locating USAG officially will be easy.
We also took the time to pay courtesy calls, foremost amongst them, to the Minister of Communication and Information and the Deputy Minister of Education in charge of Tertiary Education. They both pledged their support for the association. The call on the Hon. Okudzeto Ablakwa should be of particular interest. The foremost subject was in regard of the power outages as we head towards the examination period. He outrightly ordered a letter to be sent to the minister of energy for a meeting. The subject matter is how to favour university campuses during this examination period, particularly within 3rd December, 2014 and 3rd January 2015. Also discussed were the refurbishment of the USAG Office and the procurement of a vehicle to aid the work of the association. The response so far has been largely positive.
The Center for Capacity Development and USAG intend partner to develop the capacity of student leaders especially in the international relations and diplomacy through the Ghana International Model United Nations Conference. All is set for the programme. Invitation letters will follow soon.
We continue to hold fast to the principle to 'Work silently and let our success make the noise'.
Signed
