Must You Rename University Of Ghana? UG Student Asks Akufo-Addo

Being the first gentleman mandates one to be patriotic and passionate about the well-being of his people and not a case of renaming government institutional assets with your ancestors. The president must know that, the landslide victory in the 2016 election was only a reflection of Ghanaians trust and confidence in him. The renaming of Government assets has become scripted routine for the president.

After renaming of University Of Professional Studies to an ancestor, the President wants to test the sea by saying "JB Danquah is the founder of University Of Ghana". Should the president try, he should expect a massive demonstration, because the premiere university has no interest in renaming.

However, you can sublime your reasoning by asking "what are significance of renaming a university if not for it certifying purposes? It's sad the president has failed to articulate sustainable policies to aid the well-being of Ghanaian studies but rather waste money and resources renaming institutions, one after the other. The president must concentrate on adding accommodation facilities to the school as the population keeps growing each year. There are many important things to do to better our educational system rather than renaming. University Of Ghana deserves better and not a naming ceremony. Making several attempts to ascertain the reasons for this sudden naming ceremonies, makes it even worse. You sleep and wake to find out new names in the system as if this government has nothing good to offer.

Anyway, let me swiftly draw the president's attention to one important thingsl University Of Ghana needs. When you're crossing the Okponglo road, you must pray fervently to your maker, several lives have been lost due to lack of footbridge. The most terrifying mistake is to depend on the traffic lights to cross the road. Now let's move from Okponglo to in between Bani hostel, another deadly zone. The latest accident took the lives of two students of Legon Presec senior high. Just before you consider renaming University of Ghana, sit in your sofa and reflect the wants and needs of Ghanaian students and most importantly University Of Ghana. Thank You.
