The University was today shut down indefinitely following a protest by students of the over what they described us brutalities on them by the university authorities. The protest which started peacefully turn violent leaving millions of properties destroyed.

What is happening in KNUST is very unfortunate and is as a result of what we call bad leadership. Obiri Danso the VC seems to lack innovative measures in addressing the current challenges confronting the institution. Obiri Danso must do the honourable thing by resigning before he destroys the reputation of such a great institution. Again I don’t know why the police should brutalize innocent students which has reportedly led to the memory lose of one of the students. If things persist, we would have no other option than to mobilize the public against the leadership of the institution.
