When you look at PhD students, sometimes depending on what you\u2019re researching on you spend as much as 30,000 Ghana cedis. You need to go to the lab, you need to go to the field, and you have to do that for one whole year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Further speaking, Claudius Angsongna added that the association will be forced to demonstrate if their concerns are not addressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to liaise with all other institutional heads, then we\u2019ll organize a press conference and a demonstration.
