The Nation Union of Ghana Students wishes to express its
sincerest apology to Congress, Aspirants, Delegates, Observers
and all Stakeholders of the Union for the abrupt end of
the 52nd Annual Residential Delegates Congress held at
Methodist University College Ghana, Dansoman-Accra
from the 15th-18th November, 2018.
NUGS would like to state without malice that, the
congress was organized with the sole aim of uniting the
Union which for some years now have been in turbulence.
We felt such a union as NUGS, whose major concern
is with championing the welfare of the Ghanaian student
has not seen greater light of success in its activities because
of the fragmentation that have bedevilled it.
It was thus only good for us as the union's leadership to
ensure that, processes that followed at the congress were
free and fair.
Having come into agreement that there were
some electoral hitches which hampered the trust of the
elections, it was prudent for the leadership to liaise with
the steering committee to officially call off Congress and
to agree that a new date be scheduled for Congress to
convey at emergency within the shortest possible time.
Members of the Union are thus entreated to disregard any
group of persons already carrying or about carrying
themselves as national executive officers.
In the light of the above anomalies, NUGS would
once again apologize unreservedly to all persons
who were involved in the congress process.
NUGS would also take this opportunity to thank all
congressmen, aspirants, observers and stakeholders for
their acceptance and commitment to our
call to the 52nd annual residential delegates congress.
We yet give hope to Ghanaian students that our union
shall be put on the right road of representation and
leadership regardless the hindrances. We wish to send
a strong warning and signal to the Youth Wing of the
New Patriotic Party (NPP) to distant itself from the
mother body of all students in Ghana, NUGS as
the Union undergoes its processes of restoration.
In ending, Article 4 of the constitution of NUGS,
the CHARACTER AND ORIENTATION of the Union
makes it democratic, nonpartisan, independent
and progressive Mass Movement of students in
Ghana and Ghanaian students abroad. Emphasis
is laid on its "non partisan" orientation.
NUGS HAS NO POLITICAL BLOC NEITHER IS IT A BLOC
UNDER A POLITICAL PARTY: In accordance with Article 4
"Political parties shall not be formed within the ranks of NUGS".
Logically, this position of NUGS also affirms that, the Union
shall not in like manner be formed within the ranks of
any political party.
Thank you.
