It said “In recent times KNUST under the leadership of the current vice Chancellor has been in the news for various negative reasons.
As the government agency is accountable for youth development in this Country we find the raw means adopted by leadership of the university in resolving student concern such as the use of sheer force and acts of barbarity similar to the era of military rule.
“This is criminal in nature and offence to Ghana’s democracy, we are not in a banana republic to let the university security to take the law into their own hands and treat students as if they are second class animals”.
Meanwhile, KNUST has been closed down indefinitely following the acts of wrecking by students.
