Member of parliament for North Tongu Constituency honorable Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has said that the decision by KNUST authorities to defer the courses of some 6,000 students for non-payment of fees is most harsh and inconsiderate considering the current economic crisis.
According to him, the system is so hard and that could be the reason why these students are unable to pay their school fees. He called on the government of Ghana to direct students support schemes such as the Scholarship Secretariat, Students’ Loan Trust, GNPC Scholarship Foundation, Cocobod Scholarship and GETFund to extend immediate relief to our 6,000 young Ghanaians.
He called on all Ghanaians to stand in solidarity with the affected students and extend any help to save their futures.
He also called on students from his constituency who are affected to contact his office for assistance;
“By way of my modest personal contribution to a solution — even though I have already attended to those on my scholarship scheme, any North Tongu constituent who wasn’t on my support programme and is affected should promptly contact the North Tongu MP’s office for assistance”
