Mr. Chairman, Outgone Executives, Fellow Executives and comrades in the Students’ struggle, all protocols duly observed.
This day reckons as an important day, filled with mixed feelings; joy and a heavy heart. My heart exudes with joy because, we as University Students of Ghana (USAG) have come a long way to celebrate this day. The turmoil we went through, the crooked paths and the monstrous mountains of challenges have all “plained” before us.

Our belief in the intrinsic value and power of mankind has played out. We have become successful with our supreme role of protecting and promoting the welfare of students and as such, the achievement needs to be jealously guaranteed.

A heavy heart, I have because the tasks ahead get more challenging as the years go by.
We are plaqued with an insensitive cut on subsidies on electricity for university students by government, hence, increasing the financial burden on us.

The incessant power outages which have now become a routine phenomenon and christened “dumsor” has undoubtedly had a huge toll on all students in Ghana, regardless of stage or level.
 We want to send a clear message out to the government that we are tired of DUMSOR. University students need electricity for studies. University students need to study to attain the heights that our government officials have attained. Government should sit up.
Universities are re-opening latest by the end of the month. Students are wandering in hopelessness and despair of what beholds for them.

As if the dumsor is not enough, University lecturers are compounding our woes. The government has shown no positive actions to give hope to the thousands of University Students, who are looking to start the academic year with vigour.

As we entreat university lectures to return to the classrooms in anticipation of a positive response from government, we pray the government to fulfil all obligations now and in the future, to forestall future occurrences for smooth academic sessions of students.

We as the executive body of USAG stand in solemn unity and oneness.
We pledge to do who we have sworn to and do more. The arch of education is bent towards good leadership. The flame of excellence in leadership burns uncontrollably in our hearts. We will make sure, our leadership becomes the envy of our generation. USAG Nkosuo Nti, nye meti 

Long live USAG.
Long live University Students
Long live Ghana

Thank You.
