The event saw Vincentia Z Opponwa sworn in as secretary, Ruth Yayra Agbeehia as Treasurer and Sandra Dobil as Women\u2019s Commissioner respectively.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the ceremony, Samini noted that he is happy to serve people, especially since as an entertainer he has not had the opportunity to be in such a position.<\/p>\n He added that serving as an SRC President also helps him understand the governance space. <\/p>\n This comes after the singer, born Emmanuel Andrews Samini beat stiff competition to win the SRC elections on June 22, 2022.<\/p>\n He garnered 307 votes, while his opponent, Theophilus Quartey, received 212 votes.<\/p>\n Samini promised, among other things to establish an SRC Emergency Trust Fund through crowdfunding and partnership with corporations to help support needy students, supporting businesses, and other worthy causes.<\/p>\n He again shared his desire to lessen students\u2019 transportation challenges by reviving the school\u2019s shuttle system, aiding students with registration, internship support and others.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, present at the swearing-in ceremony was the Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mark Okraku Mantey who said he was proud of Samini for this achievement.<\/p>\n Samini is studying Project Management for his undergraduate degree.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Reggae\/Dancehall artiste Samini has been sworn in as the President of the Students Representative Council (SRC) of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA).
