We at the secretariat would like to express our profound gratitude to our guest speakers Hon. Samuel Awuku, Dr. Benjamin K.D Asante, Hon. Joyce Bawa, Dr. Rashid Kwesi Etuaful, and Nana Ama McBrown for taking time off their busy schedules to make this event a successful august one. The leadership of the Union students and non-students who traveled far and near to make the Accra Edition of the NUGS TALK a grand one.
Our conviction remains grounded firm and deep that the ordinary Ghanaian student will have a say in a discourse of national interest.
NUGS has the future of students at heart. Education continues to be a right and not a privilege.
