OHENE Celebrates students on National Students Day '16

Today, 15th May, marks National Student's Day 2016; a day designated to celebrate all students of this country; a day to remember our forebearers in the students struggle who toiled for the National Union of Ghana Students and Strived to protect the welfare of students of this country.

The theme for the Day indeed could not have been any better than to revisit the very spirit upon which this Union was established.

Yes, "The Impact of Student Activism in shaping National Policies" is indeed worthy of contemplation.

Admittedly, NUGS over the past few years has contributed not much towards influencing decisions and policies of the Nation.
In the past, talk of GETFund, NSS et al., and the influence of NUGS cannot be left out.
The immense contributions of this Union towards shaping the democracy of this Nation can never be overstated.
NUGS has been focal in the changes from various military regimes to civilian administrations; commendable moves and an inspiring spirit of the Union.

The NUGS of today needs to be infused with ACTION in the quest to contribute meaningfully in terms of ideas and human resources to this nation.

I am glad that this day presents an opportunity for student leaders to interrogate this matter, to ponder over these core mandates of the Union and to contribute to enable the Union move beyond its current state.

I wish all an Action -⭕riented Student's Day.

Let's together set the right pace for the progress of the Union and this Nation.

Long live NUGS.
Long live Ghana
God bless us all!
