With a bleeding heart, the leadership of USAG wish to use this medium to express our dismay at government's unwillingness to pay the book and research allowance of lecturers.
It may be recalled that before the commencement of the semester, our lecturers went on strike on the issue of allowance and we pleaded with them to return to the classroom for the common good of the students and begged government to pay the needed allowances on time.
But this seem to have fallen on the deaf ears and as a result, lecturers are very much sent aback by this sad development.
We the leadership of USAG and all the University students of Ghana wish to state emphatically that; just as we don't want our lecturers to leave the lecture halls for another strike action, so do we not want our lecturers to go hungry or lack the logistics to better their working conditions.
On this note, we want to plead with government again, and petition your office (Mr. President) with a bowl of tears that University Education is our surest bet to understanding the complexities of handling modern economies and hence our key to building a strong nation financially and otherwise. Therefore government should do all its possible best to engage our University lecturers and settle the quagmire of allowances.
Thank you.
Signed
HENRY NKOSUO BOAKYE
USAG PRESIDENT
