GIJ’s Nana Osei Agyekum faces vote of no confidence as Graduate Students revolt against him

Nana Osei Agyekum’s future as GRASAG-GIJ president and a politician hangs in the balance after a string of allegations emerged in a petition in which a group of students, numbering over 70 are seeking for a vote of no confidence to be passed in him together with his vice Listowel Agyensem.

A probe is currently taking place to ascertain the concerns raised in the said petition, key amongst them being the reckless handling of the association's funds and also conduct which brings their office into disrepute.

The findings of that probe are being eagerly awaited as the results could even prompt the University’s Governing Council to turn on the Nana Osei Agyekum led administration and likely dissolve the current executive committee of the GRASSAG-GIJ Chapter in its entirety.

Meanwhile, information also reveals that there have been various attempts by the respondents in the petition and even some immediate past executives of the association to influence the process or possibly the outcome of the process. A move the petitioners have condemned and further assured the entire student body of their resolve to see through the constitutional process to the end.

Attached is a copy of the petition seeking the removal from the office of Nana Osei Agyekum and his vice Listowel Agyensem.

In a chat with a cross-section of students, they seem disappointed with the school which forces them to pay GRASAG dues, yet does nothing to monitor or regulate the conduct of that same GRASAG. One student even hinted of suing the school for abdicating their responsibility.
