Speaking in an interview with Awake News, Mr. Yahayah Seidu said he has all it takes to break the current disunity with the main student [ads1]body whose aim is to fight for the interest and welfare of Ghanaians students.
“NUGS for some years now have seen a tremendous level of disunity which is making it difficult to discharge its core mandate as a body. It has gotten to a point where the union is now headed by two presidents” – He revealed.
For him, NUGS which is a student front created with the sole aim of seeking the welfare of Ghanian students had deviated from its core objective. This he said is not the best way forward.
