The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) has expressed profound sadness over the tragic loss of Miss Joana Deladem Yabani, a fourth-year student at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).<\/p>\n

In a press statement released on February 27, 2025, NUGS extended heartfelt condolences to Miss Yabani\u2019s family, friends, and the entire KNUST community.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo student should have to lose their life under such circumstances, and we stand in solidarity with all those affected by this tragedy,\u201d NUGS stated.<\/p>\n

The union commended the swift response of KNUST Management in initiating an investigation and called for absolute transparency and urgency in uncovering the full details of the incident.<\/p>\n

NUGS supported the demand of the KNUST Students\u2019 Representative Council (SRC) for access to all available CCTV footage and a thorough probe into the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pursuit of justice for Joana must be uncompromising and impartial, ensuring that those responsible, if any, are held accountable,\u201d NUGS asserted.<\/p>\n

This incident has highlighted the urgent need for universities across the country to reassess and strengthen security measures on campuses.<\/p>\n

NUGS called on the government, university authorities, and all relevant stakeholders to prioritize student safety.<\/p>\n

The union advocated for enhanced surveillance systems, increased security patrols, and improved emergency response protocols to prevent future occurrences of such tragedies.<\/p>\n

To the students of KNUST and Ghanaian students at large, NUGS acknowledged the grief, anger, and fear caused by this loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us remain united, support one another, and demand the justice and security that every student deserves,\u201d the statement read. NUGS encouraged anyone with relevant information about the case to come forward to assist the authorities.<\/p>\n

NUGS remains resolute in its duty to protect the rights and welfare of students across the country and will closely monitor developments in this case. \u201cWe will not relent until justice is served,\u201d the union vowed.<\/p>\n
