The National Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Sammi Awuku has assured aggrieved students of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) of his unflinching support in these trying moments.
According to him, he is optimistic that the Ministry of Education will do everything possible within the shortest time possible to restore sanity in the school.
He wrote on his Fcaebook page ‘’ I’m convinced the Minister Of Education and his team will restore sanity to the KNUST campus and help preserve the heritage and tradition of the University, Continental and Africa Halls.’’
According to him, the current situation in the university emanates from policies initiated by the Vice Chancellor of the school, adding that the rumpus on the campus was absolutely avoidable.
See the full text of his statement below.
No matter how Long the Night is, the Day will surely come for the Conti and Katanga Gents. I’m convinced the Minister Of Education and his team will restore sanity to the KNUST campus and help preserve the heritage and tradition of the University, Continental and Africa Halls. It is clear the Current Policies of the KNUST VC have provoked these avoidable demonstrations and the carnage we are experiencing.

IT SAD THAT GHANAIANS ARE AFRAID TO CONDEMN THIS PRIMITIVEEEEE AND BARBARICCCC ACT OF KNUST STUDENTS. HISTORY TESTIFIES THAT DEMONSTRATORS WITH GENUINE CONCERNS DO NOT RESULT TO BRUTEEEE AND VIOLENCE TO ADDRESS THEIR GRIEVANCES. YES, PEEOPLE IN DEMOCRATIC DISPENSATION EMBARK ON DEMONSTRATION BUT NOT EXPECTED TO BECOME SENSEELEESSSS AND VIOLENT LIKE KNUST STUDENT. SRC OF KNUST IS A FAILED LEADERSHIP AND MUST BE PUNISHED FOR SUCH UNNECESSARY DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY. I AM EXPECTING NUGS TO COME OUT MATURES AND TO CONDEMN SUCH UNCIVILISEEDD BEHAVIOUR AND NOT TO CONDONE IT. WHAT LEGACY ARE WE LEAVING TO THE YOUNGER GENERATION. THE BEHAVIOUR OF KNUST STUDENT IS SO BAD THAT IT DOES NOT BEFIT SECONDARY OR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT. I EXPECT CIVIL SOCIETY, RELIGIOUS BODIES, AND PROFESSIONAL BODIES TO CONDEMN THIS UNRULYYYY BEHAVIOUR OF KNUST STUDENT IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS IMMEDIATELY. MANY OF KNUST STUDENT HAD JOIN THE DEMONSTRATION BUT HAD NOT DESIRED TO BE DESTRUCTIVE AND SENSELESSS. I EXPECT THE RIGHTTTT MINDED STUDENT TO HELP ANY INVESTIGATION BODY TO BE SET UP TO FISH OUT THE PERPERTRATORS OF THE VIOLENCE TO BE PUNISHED. THE CRIME COMMITTED FOR DESTROYING PROPERTIES MUST BE PAID FOR BY THE STUDENT. IT IS SHAMEFUL TO GHANA FOR PRODUCING SUCH INDISCIPLINE BUNCH OF PEOPLE FOR THE FUTURE GENERATION. UNIVERSITY STUDENTS SHOULD BECOME THINKERS AND CREATIVE TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AND NOT BRUTEE. ALL SHOULD CONDEMN THIS SHAMEFUL ACTION.
We need to be very careful with the way we are bringing up our kids. If we're not careful they'll end up like Sammi awuku
These politicians are ready for anything that can bring them votes, including anaky. An unpatriotic son of Africa will always be an unpatriotic son of Africa. A government official supporting lawlessnesss!!.
The vandalism and the destruction of property by students was very unfortunate and a behavior unbecoming of students of higher education.Anyone identified to have taken part in these criminal acts, should be dealt with by the laws of the land as well as the university's codes of conduct. However, I don't think that any vice chancellor or administration should have so much power to decide to change a tradition that has existed for decades. Who does this vice chancellor think he is to be this whimsical and capricious in a university that has tens of thousands of people. Respect is a two way streak they say. You cannot demonstrate this wanton disrespect for students and expect them to respect you. Shame on the current administration at KNUST.
Most comments here r in respect of lawlessness on the part of the students but have u taken time off to think of what brot about this lawlessness?? The university is not a crèches... We have adult n they must b treated as such ...if u treat them like kids u will get exact response from them. V.C must go .....
This what happens when an accursed man becomes a president with a bunch of deceptive individuals helping him. If it is not broken don't fix it, there was no mixed hall, so if you have created one and it causing trouble why not dropping the project for peace to prevail.
My dear Sammy and Nana B. Well, do you also stand by the lawlessness as we saw on our TVs? In the year 2018, why would any group of misguided youth and their so called Alumni be arguing against a Gender neutral policy of the State's university halls? Some future leaders indeed.
Please Government of Ghana wake up and save the lives of our children. Have two of my descent boys who would not like to see such things at their doorsteps. Ghanaians must think twice to save our motherland. Thank you.b
All those involved should be arrested as early as possible coz we have family who are young in the school and if such thing happen what do think they will do as new students
pls all Npp activist should refrain from this Sammy Awuku and Nana Bee comments.we are all activists.what is wrong is wrong.The school is for the state.The students went above board and supported by alluminia with ocult morale.All those captured on the tape of destroying properties should be arrested within 2hrs.prriod.
