Nana Kwesi Eshun, the petitioner in the #FixHostelPrices campaign honored an invitation from the committee for reviewing the pricing mechanism of KNUST hostels. The KNUST Dean of Students who is the Chairman of this committee and his members asked of ways that can help leverage the pricing of hostels. The meeting was an enlightening interaction with dignitaries on the committee brainstorming on the subject matter; "REVIEWING MECHANISM OF KNUST HOSTELS" to find a lasting solution to the outrageous increase in hostel prices yearly. Nana Kwesi Eshun shared some thoughts with the committee, emphasizing that campus hostels are most at times expensive than off-campus hostels. Citing Chancellors hall (Hall 7), Brunei, and SRC hostels which benefit from the school resources increase their prices every year. This makes it difficult for off-campus hostel managers to reduce their prices using hostels on campus as a yardstick. Private hostels charge huge sums of money without including

NANA KWESI ESHUN SPEAKS ON SRC VETTING INCIDENCE

Image
The incident that occurred on the early hours on Sunday morning during the KNUST SRC VETTING process is awful and a disgrace to the entire student body.  Such incidents paves way for management to interfere in student governance portraying the inept of student leadership. Treating SRC activities in this manner basically means collapsing of our bridge that leads us to our highest authority, the management.  The SRC is a respected mouthpiece to the numerous students in KNUST and for that matter activities conducted under its leadership should be treated with utmost respect. In situations like this, we force the management to compress the jurisdictions of the SRC by putting barriers on some operations and schemes it can exhibit. As intellectuals, violence should not be part of our lifestyle irrespective of our indifferences on issues. With regards to elections, the best way of winning is not through violence, but rather, making your yourself and policies known to the students on campus, o

As student, we need not to be unconcern about the campus system that is unfavorable to the masses. We have the responsibility on our part to play which is "to be active in respectfully voicing opinions and ideas appropriately" - KNUST Student Guide. Our muteness is granting them the chance to act the way they are acting. Management are mostly aware of certain happenings that affect the livelihood of the students on campus and off campus yet they look unconcern because the students are unconcern. It's time to let your voice count #YourVoiceMatters #FixHostelPrices #FixHostelPricesNow

GMSA-KNUST RECIEVED DONATION FROM NANA KWESI ESHUN

Nana Kwesi Eshun, yesterday donated some food items to the KNUST Muslim community.  His gesture, which was not aimed towards this year's political agenda, was deemed laudable by the president of the Ghana Muslim Student Association. The donor further urged other individuals to give back to society without seeking anything in return.  The GMSA President commended his kind approach and entreated others to support people in need, not only in the Ramadan season but whenever necessary. “The main purpose for this kind gesture is to assist colleagues Muslims who will find it difficult to feed during this Ramadan.  This will at least help the beneficiaries to start their day with Suhoor or Sehri which is the pre-dawn meal before the Fajr and also after sundown. Also, I urge all students who have enough to give to support our brethren ( Muslim students ) who do not have during this Holy period. And to the student politicians, please give alms when necessary and not just for the sake of self
