A statement signed by the Vice President of the Association, Anthony Gollo said the association is "deeply stunned by the government’s decision to dissolve the governing Council of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, as part of measures to address the impasse in the University by establishing an interim council".
"We believe that the University Act and Statutes provide an adequate mechanism to deal with the impasse. We, therefore do not recognise the interim council and so reject it outright. GAUA insists on the restoration of the dissolved governing council of the university. We therefore withdraw our services with immediate effect until the restoration of the Council" the statement further added.
