SRC

THE President of the Students Representative Council (SRC) of the Accra City Campus (ACC) of the University of Ghana, Mr Francis Agilinko, has appealed to university students to strive hard to acquire knowledge that would make them useful to society in future.
He gave the advice when he took over the mantle of office from the outgoing executive of the SRC at a ceremony in Accra.
Other executive members of the SRC who were sworn into office were Mr Stanley Larbi, Vice President; Nana Osei Bonsu, Secretary; Ms Mercy Ankoma, Treasurer, and Ms Marian Markins, Women’s Commissioner.
Mr Akilingo, told the Daily Graphic that under his leadership, the SRC would dialogue with the administration of the university to solve such problems such the restructuring of the academic timetable and high tuition fees.
He said the SRC would also explore opportunities to resuscitate the students loan to enhance the lives of students on campus.
Mr Akilingo, however, said it was regrettable that in this 21st century in Ghana some students still carried chairs from their homes to lecture theatres, and pledged the commitment of his SRC to finding a lasting solution to the problem.
The immediate past SRC President, Mr Steve Abayah, urged the new administration to work together to improve the image of the university, and also advised it to do away with politics, since it had the potential for dividing their front.
