The government of Ghana has dissolved the governing council of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) with immediate effect.
This comes following the recent developments at the University that led to students vandalizing property on campus.
The students at the University did a peaceful protest on last Monday which later turned to violence prompting the Ashanti Regional Security Council to order for the indefinite closure of the school.
